It’s not the capitalist system that marginalizes God, it’s certain capitalists that do. It’s not the system, but the individuals that abuse the freedom that Capitalism provides.

Marxism, by its’ very nature does marginalize God, by substituting Man for God.

it seems to me that secularism, not capitalism, has resulted in the marginalization of religion.

I’m thinking he’s using “capitalism” the way Americans use “plutocracy”: Rule by money. Years ago, I was very distressed when the word, “capitalism” seemed to replace Ronald Reagan’s “free markets.”

China is ruled by money; it is by no means a free market.
