'The religion of capital'

"Now, then, the only religion that answers the need of the moment is the religion of Capital. ... Capital is the true, only, omnipotent God. He manifests Himself in all forms and guises. He is found in glittering gold and in stinking guano; in a herd of cattle and in a cargo of coffee; in brilliant stores that offer sacred literature for sale and bundles of pornographic etchings; in gigantic machines, made of hardest steel, and in elegant rubber goods. Capital is the God whom the whole world knows, sees, smells, tastes, He exists for all our senses. He is the only God that has yet to run into an atheist."

-The Religion of Capital by Paul Lafargue (1887)
