If you mean that european civilisation is based on foundations of Christian belief for moral values, definitions and understandings of reality then yes that is the case, if you are talking Imperialism then the legacy of roman and colonial projects within europe prior to the coming about of nationism also play a part, the English in particular have a lot they owe to the normans in that regard. But such imperial ambitions are hardly unique to the Christian world, Islam has a long history of being the state ideology of empires as does confucianism in the east, if you want a religion that doesn’t really work with centralised imperial states then hinduism is probably the closeted thing to it but even India has had great empires, its just that the beliefs of the people didn’t tend to be great at reinforcing and upholding their power.  The christian focus on the moral responsibility of the individual is also very much on display in anti-imperialism, the whole of western ideology is a bit odd considering how very Christian it is despite the rejection of the religion, and even more so considering that Christianity itself is one of the most abnormal religions as it hasn’t followed the self-interested interpretation of theology in quite the same way as most religions (and indeed ideologies) tend to where it is decided that the religion itself is the most important segment of social meaning (typically by the ones who define that meaning) and therefore the most privileged place in society is owed to the priest caste. One of the things this resulted in was the belief in an objective reality separate from claims of spiritual powers by clergy and based on rules put in place by god rather than subject to his whims, I believe the logic was something like it wouldn’t be a miracle if it didn’t break absolute and unbending rules of nature, which is funny considering that a considerably more scientific argument about atoms is what lead islam down the opposite path (all the atoms are continually recreated by god meaning that reality is ultimately arbitrary and spiritual learning is the only worthwhile path).
