Only partially true.
To explain: Christ Jesus stated that the whole Law given to the ancient Hebrews, could really be summed-up & condensed into just two laws:
1st) You must love Jehovah God with your whole heart, soul, and mind and strength; and
2nd) You must love your neighbor as yourself.
Actually it is these 2 laws (not just the 10 commandments) that form the basis for the greatest influence upon True Christians, not just in the Western world; but upon True Christians all around the globe.
