What is the issue? What premise do you think we should base ethics on that has more validity than the wellbeing of humans?
Mostly we'll agree tho if you go by Christ's teachings because he was quite humanist. In the form of the Son. Not in the form of the Father.

No, it comes from our moral emotions. Present more strongly in Ancient Greece and also in Hinduism. Christ didn't centre humans as much

I study Christian history too. The West owes a lot to Augustine & his ethics came from a mixture of Christianity & Greek philosophy.

Ideas like brotherly love & caring for the sick & poor certainly didn't begin with Christianity. It adopted them like many other religions.
