    Well I am pretty sure I can find each and every value in christian religion in other religons, for example transendance, every religion had a way of reaching that state of transendence, doesn't have to be the same way but there is always something to reach, all the time.

    You will find them in pieces, but not in whole. I'm not a lowest common denominator believer.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).

    That's ok that is yours not mine, but you will find it in pieces because the world is made out of pieces I think. But they are to be found to a certain extend everywhere, that is why I think these values are universal, no matter your sizes a suit is still made out of cloth and that cloth is universal values, not right or wrong but acceptable and unacceptable, all in the eye of the beholder.
