Christians like to think they have a monopoly on morality. That's why they use the word "christian" as though it were synonymous with moral or righteous. But by their deeds shall we know them.

Do unto others before they do unto you.

Christians are not exclusive in this area. Islam and Judaism for example have non-negotiables they will not trade away even for the sake of ecumenism [[interfaith unity). Even the non-exclusivists such as the B'hai's exclude the exclusivists! And yes by everyone's 'deeds' we shall know them, the religious and the non-religious.
