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?

They don't really support capitalism. They are simply submissive to authorities and support whatever their leaders say.

    They have socialistic choices too , if we dont talk about the US , there are actual socialistic parties , and still the religious conservatives support partys those are capitalistic.

    Let's use Hong Kong as an example.

    Conservatives in Hong Kong are pro-Beijing. Most Buddhist and Taoist organisations in Hong Kong are pro-Beijing as well. Catholic communities in Hong Kong seem to be very divided politically.

    That's what I observed in Hong Kong. Most of the conservatives don't seem to care about capitalism vs socialism, they just blindly follow their leaders.
