The phrase “Judeo-Christian” is predominantly used in reference to the idea that the dominant values of Western nations originated in Christian and Jewish thought and beliefs. It has shaped most of the institutions and cultures of the western world. This has occurred despite the fact that many of those who believe they are following Judeo-Christian values actually reject its very founding principles.
