The values Steph listed are the values of the Christian faith; thus, is is accurate for her, as a Christian, to describe them as "Christian values". She neither said nor implied that they are *exclusively* Christian.
I'm sure that's what she
meant, Vicki; it's just not what she said. This is what she said:
In my ideal church/state government, the people who didn't believe anything or followed a different religion would follow Christian principals.
If she'd said
Principles espoused by Christianity and many other faiths, then I wouldn't have picked up on it, though it's true (as LabRat said) that this also excludes atheists and agnostics who also follow a strong code of ethics in their lives.
But I'm sure it was just a poor choice of words
