Why do most religious conservatives support capitalist ideology?

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 wonder why would a person keep a rich persons interest over their own ? Free or affordable healthcare and college would be such a great help , and while the planet can support food and housing for all , many are deliberately kept hungry and homeless and that is rooted in corporate greed most of the times . Gulliblity at another level!

The guise that they will someday be the one with the boot, they donโ€™t wanna miss their chance be be the very boot they lick. Propaganda is a powerful tool.

I mean I know people who think that elon is making them rich coz their tesla shares jumped, and at the same time they dont want college to be affordable because they paid for it in whole ( tho these ppl are mostly boomers and older gen)

There's no such thing as a poor Republican voter, just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

They get told the current hierarchy is gods will and theyโ€™re not allowed to subvert that
