Goodness and evilness predates Christianity by millenia. Read about Mesopotamian religions, or the Hindic ones.

It's not relevant since those religions are no longer practiced.
Christianity is, and is still influencing our world, like I wrote above.
Hinduism it's pretty much alive, and Christianity it's just a fork of Judaism.
When Cristianity didn't even exist, the Chinese already had a good chunk of philosophy perfectly set and written, and even modernish rules for war and diplomacy: Tao Te King, and The Art of War.
Heck, America from Canada to the Patagonia didn't even know about Jesus until the Europeans arrived 1500 years later. 1500s damn years. For a huge continent mass spread over from almost the North Pole to the South pole.
So much for an 'Universal' God. So universal that Aquinas had to rip a good chunk of Greek philosophy to adapt (more like smash it down with nails and duct tape) ancient Middle East fairy tales into the less-desert bound Europe as the modern Christian canonical sources.
If any, the Western world is shaped by the Roman architecture and law, and the Greek worldview, mindset and math.

Okay, so you're a hindu or a jew.
Are you arguing my point about christianity influencing "our" world? I guess I expressed myself rather western-centric.
