Actually, in religion, gambling, alcohol and adultery are prohibited. <...>
Actually, it depends on which religion you are talking about. As you mentioned alcohol, I assume you are referring to Islam. There are many other religions in the world and not all religions follow the same rules. For example, I am a Christian and I follow the rules of the Bible, not the rules of the Quran.
There is no written thing about Alcohol being prohibited in the Holy Scripture (same goes with gambling) but too much of it, like getting drunk, excessiveness and addiction may lead to sin. So even Bible advises doing everything in moderation.
There is reference of gambling in every religious book, be it Hinduism, Muslim, Jews or Christian.
In every religion people are forbidden to gamble- I dont find any reference in any religion where people are invited to gamble and consume alcohol or do adultery. But then we all do it.
Yes, people are forbidden in all these religious books because gambling if not controlled can be addictive, and an addictive gambler is a danger not only to himself but his family members at large, because such people could gamble with anything that comes into there mind (house, car or last money) not minding how others will feel, which is actually a bad habit, which is why this Holy books prohibit it, but not that gambling is bad in itself, but it's when it's been abuse that it because harmful.
Greed is prohibited in the Bible (1 Timothy 6:10) not gambling. But excessive gambling activity may lead us to sin. Please take note of the word excessive, and may lead.
