There seems to be a grammar mistake in your title. "Religion" has no leader. What you meant was "Religious leaders." I can't speak for anyone else, but I see it as such: - the leader is not supposed to be perfect, there is no such thing as perfect. - if religious leaders engage in practices that are in direct contrast to their teachings, they are hypocrites. While hypocrisy may just be a fun term to throw around on the internet, in terms of an actual crime I find it extremely egregious. There is hardly a worse way of life than that of a hypocrite. - I would not lose faith because my faith does not rest in men and women, it rests in the divine. I welcome any direct discussion with my points as long as it's respectful, otherwise someone gets to officially be the first person I mute on B.Next.
