The Ten Commandments are the widely acknowledged foundation of all Western Law, and are intrinsic to Judaism (non-Christian), the Coptics, Gnosticism, the Mormons, Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Church of Scientology, and Christians.

Any particular reason why you left out Islam? And why do you differentiate between Catholics and Christians? While I'm not Catholic myself I could see how some might take offense at that.

I didn't. The paragraph you selectively quoted goes on to refer to "many other religions as well."

"And why do you differentiate between Catholics and Christians?"

By "Christians" I refer to those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ found in the Bible. See also my reply #12.

Catholicism is a man-made religion loosely based upon the Bible, but full of doctrine and ritual which directly contradicts much of what Jesus teaches in the Bible.

There are many Catholics who are Christians, but the Roman Catholic Church is nontheless a cult.
