Hypocrisy in Religion

Would it Be Fair to Assume that There is a Lot More "hypocrisy" from the "religious" Than We Care to Acknowledge?

Imagine for a second, that the "religious" are illustrated as a mustard tree, and the "non-religious" illustrated as one seed on the mustard tree. Now, the sun is between the horizon and the center of the sky, painting an awesome shadow across the plain. The only problem occurring, though, is that the shadow of the one seed is overwhelming the shadow that should be cast by the whole tree. How, I ask, could this be possible? Enough of the parables. The question is quite simple. How can the number of people that live "godless", and/or "like heathen" create such a disturbance, that their actions totally out-weigh the actions of the "godly"? Would it be fair to assume that there is a lot more "hypocrisy" from the "religious" than we care to acknowledge? In other words, those that call themselves "religious" are only "religious" in name, and not in deed? True, "wickedness" might be hyped up by the media to make it appear that "religion" has no face in the worlds' societies, but what about the atrocities done by the "religious" in the name of "religion"? Are these to be over-looked and ignored now, because of the negativity so eagerly focused on by our media juggernauts?
