    Actually, it was always capitalism.

          Where would you place the starts of those two?

            Religion is a product of capitalism and it’s right hand. The other hand of capitalism is state.

              Religion is a product of capitalism

              This is such a bizarre take. That would mean capitalism existing before religion.

                  When do you figure those two things started?

        I don’t know about other countries, but in the nordic countries was it not a day to get present until after 1600 so there may have been a time with less visible capitalism. The presents started as a gift to ppl in need and later became a thing you give to family and friends. That day wasn’t even a Christian day at first until we converted. It was called midwinter(no presents, just a celebration). But like the person who responded to you before me said; capitalism has been around a lot longer.

          It’s not like the capitalism is the same either. But in similarish forms, Christmas is old and I’d say older than similarish capitalism
