In America and in the West generally, the side of the Tao is the side of faithful Christians and Jews, as well as those atheists who, for practical reasons, cling to Judeo-Christian morality as the survivors of a shipwreck might cling to a lifeboat.
Jews are a tiny percentage of the population. Perhaps someone can explain why the author mentions them instead of say, Muslims?
America was founded on Christian principles, not Muslim principles, so I think the author using Judeo-Christian principles makes a lot of sense.... I mean, think of what America would be like if we were founded on Muslim principles. Yikes.

That's true, but the Christian part wasn't in question. At what point in history did Americans start saying "Judeo-Christian"? Was it in 1776?
