I wonder why religious conservatives are mostly synonymous with capitalism supporters ? I mean arent most religions inherently socialistic ? What makes conservatives support capitalism , despite not being among the rich?

I think a lot of it comes from a distrust of the government, and an understanding that charity is voluntary. In socialism, its not. Doesn’t really count for much if its done at gun point.
I know its kinda late to say this, but disclaimer that I do not know every single person, and my perspective is limited.
why do you keep saying “at gun point”. It’s everyone paying their taxes then the that money being used to help the poor and needy.
people don’t give to charity volunteerly enough, wealth inequality has only made the rich richer while 40% of Americans are either poor or on the verge of poor. - remember, even the church demanded tithing (aka taxes).
why aren’t christians demanding more social services, more support, less wealth inequality?
there’s not “gun points”, well except for the gun-loving christians who you better not touch their giant fucking truck.
Taxes are done at gun point. If you don’t pay them, an armed man shows up at your door.
nope.
first they penalize you, then they freeze your accounts, garnish wages, etc. the IRS will not send you to jail.
You only go to jail if you commit tax evasion or fraud. Which, btw, isn’t very christian.
