It's not a link dump, it's sources that aren't condensed HN comments.

If you really don't want to read them, maybe read the short Wikipedia excerpt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_Cry#Traffickinghub_camp...

That's about Visa, MasterCard, and PornHub. This thread is about OnlyFans and _banks_, not payment processors. Are banks swayed by religious groups to block payments related to adult materials?

Edit: Also even for PornHub, it is alleged that Nicholas Kristof's actions [1] had an important impact on the decisions surrounding PornHub, and Kristof is a self-described progressive who doesn't seem to act on religious grounds, so I don't really see sufficient evidence that religious groups play a significant role at all.
