There's a comment Engels makes in Socialism: Utopian and Scientific that Calvinism is the perfect religion for capitalism because it's based on the idea that who is saved and who is damned has nothing to do with human agency, it's just decided by a higher power, which is rather like how the market works. While I don't entirely agree with his assessment, it's definitely funny.
