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.
