Capitalism sprang from Christianity, and not in any other culture.
Human rights sprang from Christianity, and not from any other culture.
And as for your statement "it certainly does not have a capitalist bent to it," I would, right off the top of my head, respond with the parable that Jesus taught about the morning workers and the workers hired later that afternoon--and the response he gave to those who argued that it was unfair they be paid the same amount. If that ain't CAPITALIST (hey, it's my money), then I don't know what is. It shows a great personal respect for individual right to dispose of property, of wealth.
So there! ;)
Oh, bad form!

Capitalism is a term coined by Marxists
to describe Freedom, Liberty and Free Market Enterprise
and it is pejorative.
