No. Communism presupposes godlessness.

My point (as an ardent capitalist) was not that capitalism is wrong, but that the exercise in stretching the Bible to cover one's political beliefs is a waste of time.

I would also say that capitalism will not exist in glory, for there will be no lack, no need, and certainly no need to use man's sinful tendencies for the greater good (as Smith's invisible hand aptly shows).

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
