Matthew 23:1 Now Jesus turned to address his disciples, along with the crowd that had gathered with them. "The religion scholars and Pharisees are competent teachers in God's Law. You won't go wrong in following their teachings on Moses. But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don't live it. They don't take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. It's all spit-and-polish veneer.

Those kind of people are talked about extensively in the Bible. Not trying to preach, just showing that it is not acceptable behavior by any means. In fact more time is spent condemning "religious" people than all other groups combined. In fact Matthew 23 is pretty hardcore against the religious type.
