Humans are sheep. Christians follow the Good Shepherd and non-Christians follow the sheep who are not following the Good Shepherd.

Why does it have to give hope...they peddle fear.
Christians are supposed to peddle truth. The truth should make a sinner realize their bad state before God (fear) but provide hope for reconciliation and eternal life.

This isn't some psychological trick to get people to join our team. We're telling people the truth in the hopes that they will be saved.

The Bible mentions the flock quite frequently. Does that make followers of Christ sheeplike in mindset or due to free will not sheep?

The political sheep metaphor alludes to sheep following other sheep through a form of group-think. The Christian sheep metaphor alludes to sheep following a shepherd. Jesus being that shepherd, or the clergy in a physical sense.
