That's why some of us see Bennett's high-stakes gambling as hypocritical.

Even though Bennett's religion does not regard it as wrong? I'm afraid that to me, as a Catholic, this looks like trying to impose Protestant morality on Catholics.

Even though Bennett's religion does not regard it as wrong?

For me, at least, it has nothing to do with religion. It's that Bennett talks about doing things in the interest of a societal good. He tells people not to do things that don't necessarily hurt themselves (drug use, premarital sex) on the grounds that society suffers when people do these things, since some people can't handle them. Yet, he doesn't use this same criterion to eschew gambling, even though casinos make billions of dollars off of many people in our society that have gambling problems.
