Mmmm... not really. The basics of our morality (don't kill, steal, lie, golden rule) far predate Christianity.

The Golden Rule predates Christianity by at least 2000 years in Hinduism. It was likely the earliest formed moral doctrine, far earlier.

The 10 Commandments AREN'T EVEN CHRISTIAN IN ORIGIN, they're lifted from Judaism, where they were likely absorbed from the Egyptian 42 Negative Confessions, and lifted by the Egyptians from other cultures.

Christians have nothing new when it comes to moral teachings or foundations. If anything, Christian morals are stolen outright from previously existant religions and cultures, just like they do with their doctrines, beliefs, rituals, holidays, and dogma.

This "foundation of morality" Christians present is nothing more than Eurocentric bullshit they've been allowed to spew for so long that people actually started believing it.
