Actually nationalism is the largest religion in the world - which in the case of the U.S. is almost equivelant to the capitalist system. And yes, capitalism does take on supernatural powers, 1) it CREATES wealth 2) it CREATES jobs 3) it RAISES the standard of living and you can go on, but it does sound almost Biblical. Capitalism is the HIGHEST FORM of something - I not sure what. It "frees" people. Doesn't the Bible say the truth shall set you free?
