Re: British culture

That’s where it comes from - what are it’s attributes?

For instance, a lot of British architecture is neoclassical - neoclassical is based in Greek and Roman architecture.

You keep using the phrase "Judeo-Christian", but for a lot of Britain’s (and other countries) history, Christians persecuted and disdained Jews - seems strange to base a culture on something that, until recently, we didn’t admire...

As was commented
Quote:
Rabbi Jill Jacobs wrote on Twitter that “much of ‘Judeo-Christian’ tradition involves centuries of Christians trying to kill us,” adding, “if you mean ‘not Muslim’ say it.”
About the phrase "Judeo-Christian"...

Quote:
The “Judeo-Christian tradition” was one of 20th-century America’s greatest political inventions. An ecumenical marketing meme for combatting godless communism, the catchphrase long did the work of animating American conservatives in the Cold War battle.
