Christianity and Judaism have one thing in common that all other faiths lack—superior social efficacy when secular institutions embrace their root values.

Why are Judeo/Christian based societies the most advanced and just on earth?

The one true God is neither an arbitrary slave master nor a feckless savage.
He did not give Man free-will so that selfish mortal tyrants may suppress or obtuse secular intellectuals corrupt it. "What works," is the supreme principle of both Judaism and Christianity--oh and conservatism as well--go figure. If any wish to brand me a bigot,let them check the historical record. Sure,many evils have been done by many faiths in the so-called name of various dieties. But which ones have done the most good? It is too easy to rest my case.

Well, you can also bolster your argument by pointing out which ones have done the most harm. Those are invariably socialist/collectivist. Marxism is by far the most harmful, followed by Nazism. Run-of-the-mill authoritarians and dictators aren't even in the same class as those.
