Judeo-Christian

The Judeo-Christian tradition consists of those beliefs and mores which Christianity derives from and shares with Judaism, including a belief in God as a benevolent, omnipotent creator, and the Ten Commandments. The United States has a Judeo-Christian heritage.[1]

The etymology of this term is traced to World War II and particularly the Cold War.[2]
