"The difference between a saint and a hypocrite is that one lies for his religion, the other by it"

About this Quote
This quote by Minna Antrim speaks with the difference in between a saint and a hypocrite. A saint is someone who is devoted to their religious beliefs and lives their life according to its mentors. A hypocrite, on the other hand, is someone who declares to be dedicated to their religion but does not actually live according to its teachings. The distinction in between the two is that a saint will tell the fact about their faith, while a hypocrite will lie about it. A saint will be truthful about their beliefs and will not attempt to trick others. A hypocrite, however, will use their religious beliefs as a way to manipulate and trick others. This quote is a reminder that it is essential to be truthful and true to one's beliefs, and not to use them as a method to manipulate or deceive others.
