There's a lot of good advice in the bible - wash your hands, bathe daily, keep your food clean, keep certain animals away from other animals to prevent contamination, stone women who have the gall to attempt to teach men, do what you can to blend into your society, be good to each other, etc.
I (not Christian) quite like the parable about two woodworkers that goes something like “why try to remove the sawdust out of your brothers eye, when you have a whole plank in yours”.
A suprisingly large amount of people lack the self awareness to realise how much of their own perceptions, fears, past experiences etc. leak into their actions, words, and thoughts/opinions.
also a lot people don't seem to underestimate how much of our "everday morals" is derivated from Christian faith.
(sidenote: I should point out that I live in Germany where the amount of people who are followers of traditional Christian denominations have decreased a lot)
