I was raised Catholic and I still feel spiritually empty all that time
either capitalism is incompatible with spirituality or all of religion is complete bullshit
either way this kinda stuff is just symptomatic of a deeply alienated society, just how fucking isolated do you have to be to WANT to go to church, it's fucking boring
A delicate old lady takes her usual spot in her pew, coke bottle glasses perched on her nose. She pulls out her Bible, dog-eared from decades of use but well-loved, settling into a predictable but comforting routine.
She feels a tap on her shoulder. In the pew behind her, a :le-pol-face: leans toward her. "You wanna hear about this time I owned a cuck NPC soyboy?" he asks between heavy, nasal breaths.
The most capitalist-y form of Christianity is all the prosperity gospel churches, or anything where you have a "personal relationship" with a godlike entity.
Absolutist and complicated hierarchy is a feudal thing. The big draw of capitalism against that, and of Protestantism against Catholicism, is that anybody can be the master of their own fortunes/faith.... As long as they're willing to throw others under the bus to do it.
Protestantism was fundamental to dissolving the social solvent of the Catholic Church enough to allow a new system to replace feudalism.

Catholicism is probably the most Feudalisty version...though the Orthodox have a strong showing there.
