I think "secondary concern" is a stretch. The entire religion is centered around the notion of sin; without sin, justification (and therefore Christ) is unnecessary.
Regardless, the important point is that:
> how a Christian should behave and how people get to heaven are two separate questions
I.e., regardless of whether goodness is a secondary concern in Christian theology, it is not a secondary concern in Christian culture.
Which is significant because you are explicitly asking for:
>> appreciation and celebration of a culture and people.
and in response to a thread rooted with claims about the goodness of Christians.
