Judaism and Christianity embrace the Golden Rule, as do most religions and non-religious ethical traditions.
For example:
Judaism — “You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:34.
Christianity — “So, whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Matt.7:12. “Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law” Romans 13:10
Jewish/Christian scriptures tellingly warn against government descent into anarchy.
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them,” Ephesians 5:11 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!” Isaiah 10:1-2. “Turn away from evil and do good.” Psalm 34:14,
The Bible warns against people not being subject to governing authority and has an answer.
“Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” Romans 12:21-13:1.
The Bible guides what does and does not cause evil.
“Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals,’” 1Corinthians15:33. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” 1Timothy 6:10 “The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.” Matthew 12:35
