I don't know what Mohammed said but Jesus didn't tell anyone not to commit adultary - that's by the by but my point is what he did say was to judge others as you want to be judged (and not the misconception of "you should not judge").
No-one here is saying Christians (or any believers) lead a better life or are better people. As I said earlier that's a stereotypical view of believers and is rarely (if ever) found to be true in reality outside of the extremists.
People only tend to listen to those that make the headlines....
Agreed that biblical principles were used in many cases to set up a moral foundation for government, usually when chaos reigned. But a good example of an major exception is the Romans.
