Having a religious affiliation doesn't prevent betting on sports
Having a religious affiliation doesn't stop people from betting on sports in the United States, according to a new study. Results showed that people who infrequently attend religious services are more likely to gamble on sports than people who attend services at least weekly or who never worship publicly. The work appears in the Sociology of Sport Journal.
