Capitalism certainly is not derived from any reading of Bible nor does it come from any of the numerous announcement, proclamations, and bulls of any of the major churches. Its origins are purely secular.
However, most Christians argue that there is nothing in The Bible that speaks for or against any particular economic system since the Bible is not an economics manifesto. A minority disagrees and holds that Jesus espoused something that parallels a welfare state, which means that capitalism, if implemented, would need a strong welfare-state component. While this would still be a form of capitalism, many Americans would more easily recognize it as socialism.
Since most Christians see no issue with capitalism and since capitalism undergirds the economies of most Christian-majority countries, most Christians are capitalists.

How does Christianity and capitalism cause violence?
Neither Christianity nor capitalism in themselves cause violence. There are many historical accounts of people inciting Christian or capitalistic (or at least imperialistic) motives to justify violence. Individuals who claim that Christianity justifies their violence misunderstand or misrepresent the beliefs of the Christian faith. And while pure capitalism is considered by some to be a winner-take-all system where one stops at nothing (including violence) to rise to the top, this type of capitalism is not sustainable. Only a form of capitalism that regulates business to ensure healthy competition and fair compensation of laborers is sustainable. Otherwise a business may conquer everyone, while starving it's laborers and have no one left to by it's services or products.
