Are Most Priests Hypocrites?
74 Answers
Studies over a long period show that atheists statistically tend to be more intelligent than believers in a god - please find your own links.
Given that priests have to be intelligent to qualify in their profession does this show that many of them may be insincere con men or is this false logic, priests do not conform to the intelligence/non-belief pattern.

Atheist: //Theology is about as respectable as astrology. Neither of them is based on observable and verifiable data (i.e. what goes on in he real world).//
As an authority on "The real world" you are no doubt an admirer of School-teacher Thomas Gradgrind, In 'Hard Times'; 'A man of realities. A man of facts and calculations. A man who proceeds upon the principle that two and two are four, and nothing over, and who is not to be talked into allowing for anything over.'
Dickens begins with; 'NOW, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them. This is the principle on which I bring up my own children, and this is the principle on which I bring up these children. Stick to Facts, sir!'

naomi, //What’s wrong with facts, khandro?//
Nothing whatsoever, but if you think that only 'facts' are quote, "what goes on in he real world" of human existence, then I'm afraid you are, as Dickens perceived of Mr Gradgrind, a rather ridiculous, jejune figure.
I speak for myself, but my "real world" contains much more than facts.
