That is, it will lead to too much individualism. These are the exact sentiments expressed by Gary Bauer regarding the Microsoft antitrust case. In other words, government controls are needed to ensure that each individual act as his brother's keeper. But underlying all this is a deeper point. Religion cannot be the basis of freedom and capitalism because of its inherently authoritarian nature.
Religion demands acceptance on faith.
It demands obedient followers. It demands the subordination of the individual's mind and the individual's interests to the dictates of some higher authority. Under capitalism, by contrast, the individual is supreme. Capitalism recognizes the autonomy of the individual citizen and the inalienability of his individual rights. In this country, too, whenever faith is employed in politics it leads to more government controls.
