Christian culture
Faith-based Western heritage
Christian culture encompasses the beliefs, practices, arts, traditions, and social norms shaped by Christianity over two millennia.
This includes sacred music, church architecture, religious holidays like Christmas and Easter, moral frameworks derived from biblical teaching, and countless works of Western art and literature.
The term can describe both the historical influence of Christianity on civilization and the contemporary lifestyle of practicing Christians: She was raised in Christian culture but left the church as an adult.
Sometimes used critically to describe insularity or resistance to secular values.
