Christianity simply trumps all others, in comparison.
Following short examples:
Our holidays (Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday, etc) are more fun, more artistic, have evoked/inspired far more cultural enrichment than any others' (St Matthews' Passion, Christmas Oratorio, A Christmas Carol, Marienplatz markets, among a multitude).
Western society- essentially Christendom and (via the most basic Christian-derived principles underpinning Western society regarding self-improvement, governance, finance, charity and education) has contributed far more to humanity than other culture combined- despite the few borrowed Eastern concepts- the West developed them far further and more effectively than they dared dream.
All major world charities are Christian derived or majority Christian evolved- including UNDP, UNESCO, UNWHO (just who originated the League of Nations?)
Christianity reformed internally of its own volition.
None of the G10 are Muslim, nor Hindu.
Why so reticent to acknowledge it?
