What is Christianity's biblical and canon disposition towards heathens/non-Christians?

Is there disdain, disgust, heavy in-group vs out-group psychology? Does Christian morality extend to non-believers, like thou shalt not kill, etc? Is slavery permitted on non-Christians? Or is Christianity more open - not permissive - just it is gentler and Christians feel Human concern for unbelievers and want to genuinely help save their souls? Or a mix?

How would you say this compares with Islam's outlook on non-believers? Or Jews vs Gentiles, and so on.

Sorrow and pity.

>one who has passed through the world without sins. And further if they see that any one of them dies in his ungodliness or in his sins, for him they grieve bitterly, and sorrow as for one who goes to meet his doom.

-Marcianus Aristides.

Morality is absolute - our moral code applies to all. Remember, the Jews hated Samaritans, and Christ said they are our neighbor. We are called to protect them, even if they do not do so to us.

In terms of evangelism, we offer Christ to all.

>Is there disdain, disgust, heavy in-group vs out-group psychology?

No, we want all souls to be saved. But there is an in and out group per se. Those who are baptized are in. Those who are not are out.

>Does Christian morality extend to non-believers, like thou shalt not kill, etc?

Yes, these are absolutes. It's nothing like the old law which only applied to a certain group of people in a certain time.

>Is slavery permitted on non-Christians?

Christianity never necessarily promoted or forbade slavery, in the Byzantine Empire, Christians could have Christians slaves, and even Jews were allowed to have Christian slaves by inheritance. So, although Christianity doesn't have an official position, it must be noted that Christianity was at the center and one of the main reasons for global abolition of slavery.

>Or is Christianity more open - not permissive - just it is gentler and Christians feel Human concern for unbelievers and want to genuinely help save their souls? Or a mix?

We want all souls to be saved, both Jew and gentile, no matter what.

>How would you say this compares with Islam's outlook on non-believers? Or Jews vs Gentiles, and so on.

Both groups are more inclined to the "disdain, disgust, heavy in-group vs out-group psychology." Although Jews don't believe they're above anyone else. Muslims do though.
