I'm sorry that you are hurt by hypocritical people. Humans are imperfect and we have a good and bad side to us. If our bad side is not submitted to God, we will appear nasty.
Christianity is judged by what Christ Jesus does, not what the believers do. Believers are imperfect, and you can look to Jesus and see how good He is. The church is still undergoing moulding. It is just like a building in construction.
I would not want to judge others, because I myself am imperfect. I want to love God and love others. Hope that you encounter loving Christians and want to go to church.
Hope that you visit a United Pentecostal church and receive God's love. They have got the real thing, and the power of God is upon them.
God bless you.
Look at Christ, not at the church. It is Christ who saves you, not the church. Read the Bible and be blessed.

Watch the language, avoid swearing. Never deny God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness". Make every attempt to follow the Ten Commandments. If a person is in need, help them. If a person is hungry, stop by the grocery store and pick up a few things for them to eat. Praise and pray daily and read the scriptures. Don't hate, you can dislike someone or not want to be around them, but you don't have to hate. Share your experiences with the Lord with others and minister to them. Try to lead others to Him, you only need to plant the seed and it may grow even years later. Let others see the love and joy that you have now that you know the Lord. If someone says they don't want to hear about it, then don't push the subject. You tried and it's in His hands then. There's a place in the Bible that says something like When did I do that? and the Lord replied "When I was sick, you took care of me, when I was sad, you comforted me. When I was in prision, you visited me..." So, go to a nursing home and visit some of the residents, read to those who are blind, talk to them about Christ. Give of yourself in His name. Jesus also said "Love thy neighbor as thyself". He didn't say do it sometimes or the only exception is if you really don't like the neighbor. This refers to your teachers, schoolmates, etc. Treat everyone with respect and hold yourself up tall, accept Jesus into your heart and He will come. Then you can show others the grace that He has given you. Remember, just because one is or becomes a Christian it doesn't mean that person is perfect. Only one perfect person ever walked this earth and that was Jesus. Christians don't believe that they are the best people on earth, they just know they are saved through His salvation, sacrifice and grace.
You were kicked out of R E class (whatever that is) because you were being sassy to the teacher. In science it was probably because you are in a secular school and it's not approved the the general public/government, etc. to mention anything about the Lord. Science class is even worse because I have found that most science "scholars" tend to be athiests or agnostic.

Judaism says that the righteous man can be the one who never read Torah in his life and that the evil man can be the one who reads Torah all day.
Meaning, being a good person goes beyond religious backgrounds. That is one of Judaism's goals- not to convert people, but to get people-of any faith, or no faith, just to be good people.
Anyway, that's all I can think of to your question.

Religious people are people. We fall and bleed just like everyone else.
However we get up, dust ourselves off and put our hands back in the hand of Christ.
All due respect. From your question, it sounds to me like part of your problem is your attitude. You don't want peace to not be religious, you want to rub their face in your ideology.
That will offend anyone anywhere of any ideological perspective.

They should be commited to what they really believe in.
If not, then they just shouldn't be part of it, or go by the name of it.
There is nothing I hate more, then those religious hypocrites, who only say they are 'catholic, christian, etc' just to look good in front of everyone.

Jesus said, "By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves."
Find the religion that displys this and you have found the true religion.
