I'm going to have to start translating you again. "Providence is real -- but idolatrously misunderstood" Translation; "I'm not answering your assertion that capitalism depends of religion. Here are some words about how the soul of capital is Christian."
-
Of course Capitalism depends (genetically) upon religion. (Duh!)
-
So you concede that capital has human nature as its master, got it. And therefore humans create capital and not the other way round.
-
The idea that religion is somehow more a human creation than economics is an impiety so extreme only the history of nihilism -- aka Protestantism -- could have led to it.
-
Humans create economics
-
Not so apt. Does dirt create plants? The seeds are unavoidable but the degree of proliferation is dependent on the substrate.

To be fair, that was the conclusion made by Max Weber back in 1905 in his book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
-
Absolutely, and Weber was right. And that is why there is no such thing as a capital eschaton
