Capitalism is...a natural product of laws based on our religious beliefs. Somewhat self-congratulatory and facutally incorrect: the laws are endogenous to society; they eveloved together with capitalism. And it has nothing to do with religion.

Religious beliefs produce a social order, which results in laws. Among many of those laws are those that, for example, protect private property, which are, of course, entirely consistent with the everything that preceded them.
