Thomas Hayes that attacks hypocrisy as a defining trait of human nature and as a force that constricts democratic life. Using biblical quotations, the text denounces hypocrites for seeking credit for virtue while masking vices, infiltrating public affairs under religious, moral, ethical, reform, patriotic, and educational “covers.” It argues hypocrisy distorts truth and honor, turns justice into a travesty, and frames 1928 as the start of a battle between democracy and hypocrisy.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/democracy-against-hypocrisy-prohibition-and-lip-religion/323691/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/democracy-against-hypocrisy-prohibition-and-lip-religion/323691.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Clementine","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-14","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the text claim hypocrisy is, in human nature?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The work calls hypocrisy the meanest trait in human nature, describing it as contemptible and damnable.
