Religion is nothing but a bunch of principles and faith. You may claim that you have no religion but you cannot say that you do not have some principles or rules in your life. All those rules that keep us safe make our religions and we follow them. That's all. Some people may not play gambling because they think it is harmful and it is while some religions prohibit it and safe the person beforehand, without trying.
Im sure atleast everyone has religion. Even when they claim that they are atheist, they know that it is wrong to gamble but we still gamble right ? we dont follow the rules and we keep gambling, when we are addicted then it is going to be hard for us to get out of it. We keep on not wanting to quit until we realize that it is too late to quit
In my country, there are some ridiculous view. The law prohibited gambling , polices are busting people who organize or gambling . Break down all the house that put the servers in our country. But inside all of those polices, there're a bunch of gamblers , gambling even they're polices.
This is why this is just really like a sickness on where its really hard to stop specially if you are already a gambling addict.You would eventually do the stuff no matter what would be the blockage in front of you.Even here on my place,gambling is prohibited but i can still see some places on where gambling is present which means no matter to impose strict law on it there are really people would play no matter what.
