How close do most countries follow the teachings of their prospective religion's manuscripts such as the Holy Bible, Torah, Quran, and other sacred texts?
It appears to many that Muslim countries don't follow the teachings of the Quran/Koran. Does the United States appear to follow the teachings of the Holy Bible? Did ancient Rome or Greece follow the teachings of the Holy Bible after Christianity became the prevalent religion?
I'm interested in how closely countries and cultures actually follow the bibles/manuscripts of their cultures. Have some countries become closer to following these teachings and have some become farther from these teachings?
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all have ties to the God of Abraham. All three started in the same region and yet are completely different of how they view Jesus Christ.
So in relation to what each country's main religious scriptures teach, who come the closest? Israel, Japan, India?
In relation to "works" such as equal rights, treatment of women, forgiving others, helping others, living in unity with other religions, conservation of the Earth, or whatever their scriptures teach?
Things such as diet requirements, clothing, jewelery, hair length, worshiping & worship services, humbleness, meekness, showing love, peace, sharing, etc.
What country holds the record for doing this in the history of modern man?
