What is your definition of hypocrisy? From the Wikipedia page I got this definition: "Hypocrisy is the act of condemning another person for an act of which the critic is guilty."
So if I accuse you of littering and I myself litter, I am practising hypocrisy. However, if I litter but am corrected and never litter again, while I am still hypocritical to complain to you about your littering, this is not a bad thing since I am reformed and can now see the problem with littering and therefore you should listen to my complaint. In other words, just because I am a hypocrite on the topic of littering should not give you license to not respect my request that you not litter, given that I am a hypocrite. Since I am a reformed hypocrite I may be the only thing standing between you and Hell itself. So don't be too harsh on us hypocrites.

It may be the case, but we try to avoid at all costs, repeating the hypocrisies, in fact it´s a vice that must be stamped out as soon as possible. For the hypocrite, All things are False.

True.
Anyone who believes something and is passionate about this thing will at one time or another find themselves to be a hypocrite.

That's true. I think we tend to throw that word around too much. Sometimes people may behave in a hypocritical manner because they are changing and/or dealing with something totally new to them. That's just life.

Your argument is a slippery slope, which is a logical fallacy. Everyone is not a hypocrite.
The definition of a hypocrite is based on who you believe in. If you believe in yourself, then you are a hypocrite, because self is sinful and sin is deceitful.
If you believe in God who made a way out of the deceitfulness of sin and cleanses you from sin, and you have received faith in Jesus Christ, then your belief is true and you are not a hypocrite.
If you profess to believe in God to go along with others but you don't really believe in him, in other words, you don't fear God, and you continue to be deceived by sin into thinking that as long as you say you believe in Jesus Christ that you're going to heaven, no matter what you do here in this life, then you are a hypocrite, because if you truly believe in him you love him and keep his commandments.

True. Doesn't matter if you're religious either. Nobody is perfect and you're bound to, at some point in your life, contradict yourself and/or a belief that you might have. You're just lying to yourself if you say you're not a hypocrite.
