Michael:

1. Some apes do barter (have commerce) with each other.

2. Some of the best traders I have ever met are in West Africa. They are not christians. Some are mystics, animists, others simply believe in some universal force, but that's as far as they go. They have none of the christian platitudes, but understand the rudiments of capitalism quite well.

3. What drives the markets (such as the equity markets) are two things: greed and fear. What causes market fluctuations are supply and demand ebbing and flowing from the waves of greed and fear. Nowhere does religion, the bible or spirituality enter the equation.

The two great mottoes of the USA are: "From One Many" and "Don't Tread on Me".
