There's an aphorism I've heard that I like to use called "apples and oranges".

Since when do left leaning politicians believe that the basis from our economic system was created by a God?

If anything they'd believe it's a product of Man and has been synthesized by Man. Perhaps those on the far left would believe if it's a product of Man then there is an intrinsic higher power in the form of the village. But even they would still consider the system a tool for the survival of the village (like a grist mill) made by and for Man, rather than a seemly innocous element (like a stream or dust-bunny) which plays a critical part in the grand scheme.
