capitalism isn't a ideology at all.

ideology, noun 1. a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy

[capitalism is] an economic system that enables people to choose how to earn their living and how to spend their resources

The God of my religion is God, but the god of your cult is not. My system for resource allocation isn't an ideology, but yours is.

Ideology is a pretty loaded term I guess.
