Do you speak from experience? whether or not they believe the tenets of their religion or not, there is no doubt that religion plays apart in the culture of Society for religion is not passive, it seeps down to the social mentality of people, So if they are hypocrites or not as long as they continue to have the smallest tinge of their religion in themselves then of course there will always be hope for conversion, even atheists return back to the fold of a belief in God.
Yes, I speak from experience...although not my own personal experience but with my cousin. I'm sure you know him well. You just have to look at yourself in the mirror. I don't deny that the Church does offer something good in the society. What I'm saying is, for those who are just plain hypocrits, better waste time doing something else.
