none of that is "theft" thats just natural evolution of an ideology. You might as well say we stole calculus from Newton. Plato developed his philosophies specifically so they could be used by others.
[edit] beside, we don't believe in such values because of Plato, we do because of Christianity. Specifically the Roman Empires conversion to it, and said empires practice of destroying all cultural identity save the its own. Followed by the religion enduring past the point of the empires collapse.
