"Am I expressing my prejudice if I say: I feel that the most democratic, just and best societies have been those built on a Judaeo/Christian foundation?"
well do you know about every judaeo/christian society that has ever been built? i think that's a poor generalization because history states otherwise; the dark ages, the inquisition, the crusades, the massacres of the old testament(judaism), the christian 'priests' of our era, there are many examples.
for a just/moral multicultural society there needs to be tolerance; not totalitarianism
however, the 'isms' of the eastern societies are more tolerant of other 'isms.' an example; the hindi believe that there is more than one 'right-way' and will not try to force their metaphysical opinions on you(tolerance) but a christian, a muslim and a jew will try to convince you that your ism is a lie and will even try to convert you to their ism(totalitarianism)
