It depends on who the person was.
If I knew them closely, I would try to explain to them as to why they were being hypocritical by pointing out the specific instance/s in which it was evident, and logically show them why.
If it's a stranger or a person I didn't know very well, I would just disregard what they said, and move on.

When religion teaches us that God loves the wounded soul, the chastised soul that has learned something of it own fallibility and its own limitations, when religion teaches us that being human is such a complicated challenge that all of us will make mistakes in the process of learning how to do it right, then we come to see our mistakes not as emblems of our unworthiness but as experiences we can learn from. IN short turn the other cheek, and remember that God loves your Questions

I don't. I look past the hypocrisy,with the understanding,that if there exists a counterfeit,there also must be a genuine article..I would then(and did) proceed to seek out and investigate, the religion's founder.

You gently, kindly point out the hypocrisy. And remember that you, yourself could have very easily have say or did the same thing.
Gal 6:1-4a says "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3 If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
4 Each one should test his own actions.

Be honest with them about your concerns, but in a way that inspires love, not hate. Be a stepping stone, not a stumbling block.

I ignore them. Sometimes they may seem it but they're really not. God is there judge. If they are then He won't let them slide especially if they are saying they're religious.

Point it out to them.
The biggest hypocrisy in my opinion are those who take it personally when someone questions or criticizes their religion.
Tells me they are not as secure in their faith as they say they are.

Agree with them in a fanatical way.
They will be embarassed by the monster that they think they have created.
