Fascinating claim to make, considering such precedents as the Code of Hammurabi, Roman law, Greek law, laws existant in civilizations utterly untouched by Christianity for hundreds of years, laws in Muslim countries, laws in Jewish communities, and the fact that Christians have never been a global majority.
with the bible does not mean we should forget that most lawmakers throughout history have been christian or at least have pretended to be and that christianity has a huge impact on legislature both past and present and not always in matters of separation of church and state.
