Is Capitalism a Religion?
With "The Free Market" being its deity?
Sure seems like it to me. You have people against certain legislation simply because "it goes against TFM" or "it's not capitalistic" without any more reasoning behind it. The amount of fanatical devotion people have to the almighty dollar above all else kinda frightens me, to be honest.

4 通の返信Yes. It was also taught in christian churches back then. I find that odd since Jesus is one of the first people to advocate communism. You salty kids can deny all you want with your spoon fed propaganda, but there is only one way to interpret giving your excess to others and excessive wealthy people it will be harder to get into heaven. I think Russia , a heavy catholic area, did a better job of keeping to Jesus than Americans but that's just me

3 通の返信Handsome Jackにより編集済み: 1/10/2016 1:21:26 AMIf capitalism is a religion, then I'm the pope. EDIT: You know, there's a lot of jobs out there. And if there's a system where you can make a job out of anything you love and literally be a professional waterslide tester, then that's a system I can get behind.

Tbh, everyone has a 'religion' if we're defining it like this. Some set of rules / premises that they won't question and will put before all other forms of argument / reasoning, given the right situation. For some people it's Capitalism, for others it's their holy book, for others it's that 'you should be allowed to hit your kids if they've done something wrong'.

10 通の返信Free market capitalists want to free the worlds economies because they believe free markets are morally good and socially and economically beneficial. If a religions goals are to turn the earth into god because it'll benefit everyone, then yes capitalism is a religion. So is any system or philosophy though.

2 通の返信Lots of people on the right treat it as such, until they feel it's impeding on what their "magical book of a floating omnipotence in the sky". Then they couldn't give less of a -blam!- about money and free trade.

No, things like capitalism and socialism/communism are called economical systems. Economical systems are defined as "systems of production and exchange of goods and services as well as allocation of resources in a society." Religions are defined as "an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods."
