>>Capitalism is not dependant on a particular religion.<<

No, it is dependant on a particular world view.

And two other things:
1. Check out the size of the churches in S-Korea.
2. It is not practiced perfectly in any of those places (or even here).

Also I was referring to “pure Capitalism. I inadvertantly left off the “pure” in the last paragraph.

I think John Galts godless capitalistic world is an ill-thought-out fantasy that would only work in a novel. The practical application woudld be deadly.

The success of capitalism in S-Korea is not because of the number or size of it's Churches. Christianity has even less influence in Japan or Taiwan, leave alone the other places I mentioned.

Also "pure Capitalism" and "pure Judeo-Chritianity" are not working too well... if you look on the biblical scripture on charging interest for example.

Modern capitalism is a Western civilizational achievement, which owes a huge part of it's existance to Judeo-Christianity, which was however compromised.
