This is guilt by association, and implausible as well because they haven't the slightest reluctance to facilitate purchases of directly pro-atheist and anti-religion books such as by Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens.
If PayPal is so far right, why was Smashwords using it, to the exclusion of MasterCard and VISA, in the first place?
If you check out the selection of books in the public libraries of towns with other-than-conservative reputations, such as Berkeley California and Ann Arbor Michigan, you are are going to find that everything they have can be paid for through PayPal. Does that mean that the acquisitions librarians in these towns are all hard right Christian as well?
It is perfectly fair to criticize PayPal for giving in to the standards of MasterCard and VISA. But I don't think you are doing your POV any favor by bringing religion into this.
