Judeo-Christian tradition
Western religious foundation
Judeo-Christian tradition refers to the shared religious and ethical heritage of Judaism and Christianity—their scriptures, moral codes, and cultural values.
The term emphasizes common ground: monotheism, the Ten Commandments, concepts of sin and redemption.
Critics note it can obscure real theological differences or exclude other traditions from Western cultural narratives.
The country was founded on Judeo-Christian values.
