    Modern mainstream Christianity (in the USA at least) is very pro-capitalist. There are some other parallels I’ve noticed, such as the rise of mega churches.

      Right, but that’s because of capitalism, not Christianity, because one has existed for thousands of years, while the other began in England in the 16th century.

        “Listen! Hear the cries of the wages of your field hands. These are the wages you stole from those who harvested your fields. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of heavenly forces. You have lived a self-satisfying life on this earth, a life of luxury.”
