Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other experiment tried so far. Religion requires belief without proof and that is quantifiably probable. I think you mistake capitalism for socialism as the religion because there isn’t any example long-term of a socialist regime that hasn’t obliterated the middle and lower class in history.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and capitalism has also made incredible strides in oppressing third world countries and allowing economic bullies to strip mine entire nations for pennies compared to the revenue generated.
At the end of the day, capitalism doesn't exist. Communism doesn't exist. A tiered society with generational wealth exists, it sits a top a world that it exploits and will exploit for all eternity.
