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?

True. He's more a symptom than a cause. He certainly isn't helping.
