In my opinion, those who reject campaigns that is related to gambling because of religious beliefs are not in the need of money or maybe if you check very well they are just extremists. Like you said, which I also agree, there are some gamblers that regarding the religious beliefs will still go ahead to gamble, I have a lot of them and honestly, it depends on their view.
But for me, I do not see any reason that will be explained that will make me follow religion to stop gambling or even promoting gambling activities, when it’s not like I am being paid by the same religion. The sad thing is that the religious leaders are balling in money and making cool cash while setting rules for hungry followers to obey.
It might sound funny but you are saying the truth and I align with your point of view. It is of no importance to hold on to the belief of someone who’s already made, I am sure even God doesn't take this things serious as much as the religious leaders do. This is just gambling for crying out loud. It's not stealing or killing so definitely not a great offence.
I am so happy with myself that I am not one of those people that follow religion, I do what makes me happy and that is it. I don't really know what my faith says about gambling but I know a lot of us don't participate in gambling, one thing I am yet to understand is if they it is because of cultural belief or religion but whatever it is none of my concern.
