Best Answer

Many people who espouse strong beliefs on a whole range of issues are hypocrites, This can apply to religious leaders and, to some extent, even to religions. Some Catholic priests who preach sexual abstinence can turn out to be sexually active. Some televangelists have also turned out to be promiscuous or to live lavish lifestyles while preaching Christian virtues. However, on the whole, religions and religious leaders are not really hypocritical.
