I believe that making blanket statements against a huge part of
many millions of people's lives when you have little real
knowledge of the subject is quite wrong. It is both "bad
epistemology" and irresponsible.
Personally I couldn't care less how many people agree or
disagree with this e-opinion of yours (or mine for that matter).
Equating capitalism with religion is, however, a very
questionable construct. It insults both capitalism and
religion. It confuses what is important in each with juvenile
caricatures.
