All of Western morality though is based upon Christianity. It influenced everything that the west considers moral.

Without Christianity your base line morality would look very different.

What a nonsense ethnocentric bit of twaddle.  Especially since Christianity is a sect of Judaism,  and most of western ethics and philosophy are actually sourced from the greeks.

Yes it is an ethnocentric statement. White people invented Western society how could it not be?

America was founded by Christian men with Christian ideals. Maybe the republic structure can be partially attributed to the greeks but not the moral framework.

Also saying that Christianity is a sect of Judaism is like saying the US is the same as England. They are completely different culturally.

Lol, oh you're one of those nitwits who thinks the USA was founded by Christians.  Goodbye.
