Gambling and religion are two parallel lines so they can't be mixed together you can be a good religious person and still gamble because almost all religions are against gambling as an habit due to the fact that it involves you spending your money, gambling is like reaping where you do not sow and religion is against getting fast wealth which is synonymous with gambling and if religion is against gambling then the product of such should not also be allowed so the clergy man that collected money from the proceeds of gambling is wrong as he should not have collected it in the first place
