“Last time I checked the Ancient Greeks were Theists”

No. They were polytheists.

First do no harm originates in the Hippocratic Corpus and has a slightly different meaning than the Buddhist virtue of ahimsa. The point is that this is definitely not a Christian concept. The Christian cardinal “virtue” is an eye for an eye” although I understand that most Christians don’t obey the god of the Old Testament anymore.

Nor are other values such as hope, justice, love, or service “Christian”--either in origin or practice. That is ignorance and arrogance. Human values have existed in human cultures and societies as long as humans have existed. The Buddha was one of the greatest moral leaders in history and did not believe in any gods.
