I can't see how you can say that Christianity is the foundation of capitalism.

It's a puzzler for sure, Joe, but the evidence is all around us, from the worthy paternalism of Victorian Industrialists - for whom God ordered the estates of the rich man in his castle and the poor man at his gate - to the Right-Wing Televangelists of the USA - who seem as remote from the teachings and example of Jesus as it's possible to get. In fact, most manifestations of Christianity are replete with institutionalised injustice in which God will somehow know his own, and, as we have seen, poverty is a functional prerequisite in His sacred order. On such feudal foundations, irrespective of Christ's teachings to the contrary, was Capitalism built and continues to be justified in the name of Christ. On a more personal level in my experience it is the wealthiest people tend to make the most devout Christians, seeing no harm in the extravagences such privilege bestows upon just as long as they make their charitable donations to the poor by direct debit. As they say on your side of the pond - go figure!
