How do different religions view gambling? What could be the reasons behind it?
Probably it all roots with the effect of it and that is being greedy. When someone is too greedy, he can do crazy things that he can't ever imagine. But you get the point of these religions but no offense, they don't want their members to gamble because they want their money to be spent well. And you see them ask them every time or at all times talking about them being generous and freely donate to organizations they want to. I have no problem with that but sometimes, there's a conflict if it's about money issues.
Make sense, as greed can be very easily adapted to gambling, that's why there are some religions that hate gambling. Their first step is to avoid gambling, which for me has a good advantage as their people will also benefit from it. Especially since gambling involves money and as we all know, money is the root of evil  Wink it could add up.
