but then again what motivates capitalism?

anyways my point was that it speaks to some natural inclinations for some people such as greed and stuff, and why did those develop evolutionarily? because they put the people who had the traits at an advantage.

anyways religion imho is mostly a codification of the natural traits of people (called "natural law" as pointed out by my other comment somewhere in this thread), while also using some tricks to smoothen some edges. so capitalism is a direct consequence of it. and that's why i would say that yes, very much are the congreemen's decisions are in fact motivated by religion.

So even in your convoluted, roundabout way you still can't get around implicating capitalism.

Here's a hint: it doesn't matter what excuses people give.
