With the reality of various religions, dogma, theocracy, or whatever else one wishes to call it, the hypocrisy will always go along with the rest of it, which unfortunately is at times the ultimate in ignorance.
Religion is the hypocrisy for the simple fact of it is human beings trying to tell, or teach as some call it, how to be a moral and God loving, or fearing person. All well and good until the power hungry greedy individuals get in the way by wanting everything to go their way without considering love. Though they usually are the ones promulgating the fear, as in do this or else.
Some believe, or fear that with the advent of a more Global communication system, people want others to leave, for example Christianity, with the result being some one world order which deletes God from the equation. No matter how ignorant people can be this will not happen, for the majority of the world realizes that it is love which rules the world from the spiritual nature of human beings who always and forever have God in their hearts, no matter what name they call God by, or how much or little they have in the way of monetary means.
Hypocrisy is loveless as well as perhaps Godless, at least in the minds of some, although the spirit of God is in each of us, and it does not matter as to what is subscribed. In other words you can not escape the touch of God or love, ever. Part of the hypocrisy is the hypocrisy of thinking you know better than someone else as to what is good for the individual, or a Society as a whole. Look at the hypocrisy of government, especially in the attitude of wanting a big ever-watching group which is calling the shots, though at the same time are unable to govern themselves, not to mention religious organizations.
Religion in a democracy is meant to be separate from government, though in reality it can not be separate due to the fact that to govern in a reasonable and fair way to allow freedom, we need love in the mix. You can not have it both ways, as in politicians telling everyone what to do, or legislating law, while hypocritically backstabbing or having affairs with everyone they can while still going to the church or the religious affiliation of choice. Love is not part of this scenario, even though spiritually it is always with us, which is why religion came about, in order to give people a chance to accept a higher command into the heart.
The hypocrisy is believing religion is the answer, without believing love is the true religion. Scriptures
