Or
A person who "practices" a religion but does not truly, in their heart, believe in god.

A person who practices a religion who doesn't truly believe in. Religion is, after all, all about belief. If you don't truly believe in it, then you aren't doing it justice.
But then again, I'm of the mind frame that if you're going to do something, do it 100% or don't it at all. Don't do something "half-a$$ed", if that won't get me banned to say that .lol

The person who uses religion and G-d for their own means. They are chosing to mock G-d while they find ways to try and use him for self gain. It's more then just turning your back on G-d like atheists and agnostics do, but smacking him in the face and then stealing his car.
Sin is sin in most ways, but there are some that are more offensive to G-d then others. Even Jesus tells his followers that it would be better for those who do such to have never found G-d in the first place.

The latter. But I believe that some practice religion out of fear, and not just love.

The agnostic or atheist would be your best bet because if they don't know the answer, they will simply tell you, whereas the religious person will just make something up, or quote something out of the bible or koran that was simply made up.

same thing, one just still enjoys the community of the church.
Hey, I know that this is hard for you people to understand, but #2 is not trying to deceive or mock something that they do not believe in. As long as it isn't a preacher trying to make money off it I don't see a problem, in fact they are most likely helping support the church.

Jesus said that those who are not with him are against him. He also said that many will come to him professing to be his loyal followers but he will tell them he never knew them! Hypocrites AND those in denial of God's existence are one in the same in God's eyes. You're either with him or against him- it's that simple!

Most definitely the second. Even Jesus spoke of the hypocrits of the Temple, the Pharisees and Saducees.

The hypocrite is worse then the agnostic or atheist.

a hypocrite is worse. On top of lying to other people they are trying to decieve god( if they are pretending christianity or other religion involving God.)

I think the second.
Both don't believe in god, but only one is lying in saying they do.
