8. Yes, some people say 'Never denigrate anyone or any faith' then they burn Churches. Hypocrisy.

On the part of those who say 'no insult' then burn Churches. There is much of this in religion, a pretense that the 'rules' are strictly followed and imposed on others when they are not really followed at all.
Let's take Brunei, a nation with Sharia law. Gays can be stoned. Alcohol and pork and adultery are all forbidden of course. Strict Islam!!! Holy people! But the Sultan, who imposed these religious laws, buys and sells alcohol and pork for profit, so much so that production of pork products is done especially for him.
So they will whip someone for having a drink, then sell you 7 drinks and a pork chop. Hypocrisy. 'I beat you for doing what I also do'. Religion.
