98. It is fair to look at a movement in its entirety and not just its true adherents.
For example, good Christians, rather than those who use Christianity as a guise, never do any harm to anybody. I know those who follow the New Testament closely are some of the nicest, most generous people you'll ever meet. However, look at what hardcore adherence to Christianity breeds as a whole and it can be frightening. I saw this as a Christian myself. Applying the same standard I think it is fair to look at the hippie movement with some skepticism.
