I'll get downvoted for this: Religion and Capitalism.
Religion is the ultimate vaporware. Nothing there but air and community.
Capitalism is 100% dependent upon an unfair exchange: unless there is an unfair exchange generating profit, no capitalist will accept such a deal. Capitalism relies 100% on individuals in no position to refuse the offer, because Capitalism creates and relies on a population of people unable to refuse such offers.

Unfair exchanges exist in monopolistic forms of capitalism, but in a more competitive free market system, most exchanges will be purely voluntary.
- ttymck 5y agoIs there value in distinguishing religion from organized religion? I'd hardly call the Catholic Church paragons of virtue.
