Let’s analyze religious people who live a double life

“Religious” people are human. Everyone makes mistakes. Kind of like this thread.

Its the power you get when you up in the chain.

Typically the biggest sinner also becomes the most judgmental.

Meh, some people are big into appearances. Meaning, they need to project the image of a perfect wife, kids, godly man, joining their local charity, probably even their local country club, with a virtuous life style.

Find me a man that truly walks in the footsteps of the Lord, and I'll find you twenty more that just do it "for show."

They're full of shite and scum of the earth

I think a lot of people, in the South especially, that are involved in some profession or other capacity that involves there being some amount of importance placed on public perception feel that being active in church and/or claiming an active spiritual life is essential.

They are putting on airs and not really down for the cause.

I think that’s really what it is rather than truly religious people living a double life.

Some people just need to play the game.

That's exactly what it is. Some people playing the game. It's a facade so they can be perceived in a certain light.

The Bible is full of analysis on people like this. The gospels tell Jesus' view quite clearly. Short version: they aren't thought too highly of.
