Visa/Mastercard told two major game distribution services to remove certain games, because a religious organization pressured them. Gamers are pissed.

By that logic they should be closing down all the Christian stores. Notice how they aren’t.
I am a secular person. But at least at a Christian store you are getting the book/cross/thing you are paying for.
If you buy magic you get literally nothing.
At the voodoo store I can get books/totems/things I’m paying for.
If you buy hallelujah you get literally nothing.
A better analogy would be tithing by card. I'm not certain you can do it but I'd be surprised if not
Buying books and totems and things would not be scams. You give money and get a thing. Same as a Christian buying a Christian book or cross or angel statue.
Prayers and magic in exchange for money are you giving money for nothing. Hallelujah would be in the money for nothing category.
What about the service of performing a ritual?
