I think that Christianity keeps splitting up into many forms because, first of all, it is one of the most dominant and prevelent religions in the world and has been spread across oceans and vast regions of land to reach new societies who have adapted it according to their own likes and dislikes and culture. It kinda reflects the game that we used to play when we were children: "telephone". With this game, you would whisper something in your friends ear and pass it down a long chain of people, but by the end, the original message would be altered and modified, just like what happened to christianity after being spread to so many new regions with new people. The main ideas mostly stayed constant, but certain aspects of the religion were tweeked to suite different cultures and soceities. Also, church and state sometimes got mixed up in history, often when one or the other became too powerful. This could have caused some disregard and ignorance to maintaing the religion as its original form in order for these constant competeing parts of society to try and out-shine the other.
Ummmm, if we are being honost here I don't really know what capatilism means.... The only thing I remember is Mr. Carr saying that it had to do with free market or something like that but I could be wrong! Last year history is a complete haze to me so don't hold me to that definition lol...
