Actually, it's about Judeo-Christian Civilization and values

What is passed off as "Western" these days is the neo-liberal society

Actually, it isn't. Judeo-Christian values are part of Western Civilization not the other way around. Classical Greece, the Roman Empire, and ancient Israel formed the roots of Western Civilization. It's roots were long established before the birth of Christianity.

Christianity is not Western Civilization anymore than a belief in the Greek and Roman pantheons of Gods and their place in the celestial firmament is. One need not be a Christian to have Western values.
