The only reason I can see for people's opposition is that the Ten Commandments, while universal in their acceptance.....

I would say that the first 4 are definitely not universally accepted. And violating #10 is the basis of capitalism.

What? Are you saying that any Christian who adheres & practices Ps. 24:1 ("The earth is the Lord's and EVERYTHING in it") is not a true capitalist because they don't buy into your definition of capitalism?

Covetousness is the basis of capitalism? Maybe in a perverse society. I thought providing a product or service that appealed to people's self-interest (in a good sense) and overall good were the basis of capitalism.

Hm....wonder if that means God changes His mind about them? Does He too operate by polls?
