Exactly. Without another ideological project, they’ve turned Capitalism into a religion. Protestants, especially American Protestants, have even tried back porting Capitalism to Christianity. The result is fully a death cult due to the contradictions and is driving people mad. For example, we are unable to truly address existential threats like climate change because doing so threatens the profit engine of too many rich people, but it’s all okay because there is an afterlife and the repentant can be saved.
