Don't steal
Don't lie
Don't fuck anyone who's hooked up with someone else or doesn't want to sleep with you
Don't kill anyone who's not trying to kill you
And be nice to your parents

The rest of it is specific to Christianity. The Christians seem to believe they invented morality, but "don't lie, don't steal, don't kill, don't mistreat your mother and don't put your dick where it's not welcome" form the basis of civilization.
