The U.S. is an outlier on this one, and it's unsound to base models on outliers. You can call it the "most" capitalist country, but the other "advanced" countries are pretty capitalist too, and they're very little like the U.S. god-wise. And the U.S. has religion- besotted from the outset, when it was less capitalist than England.
