Comment on Why do most religious conservatives support capitalist ideology?

Because it’s remarkably similar in form:
“each one takes care of himself and god takes care of all”
Vs
“Everybody pursues their own gain and the market takes care of everything”

I know, but when you said religious conservative, I immediately assumed American and economically conservative, but there are plenty of Christian social democrats in Europe.
I think I may have misunderstood your question: which ideology did you expect religious conservatives to support? And, where? Maybe they could be socialists, because the new testament encourages generosity. Or maybe they could be really conservative and rabidly monarchist, imperialist. Maybe it does not matter and they just “support” what there is in their country at the time, because religion is separate from the state.
