There are many examples of hypocrisy in To Kill a Mockingbird.  Let me give you two of the most conspicuous. 

First, we see religious hypocrisy among the women in the Missionary Society. Mrs. Merriweather is the biggest hypocrite.  She acts very piously and she wears it on her sleeve for all to see.  For example, she cares about the Mrunas in Africa, but she does not care about the blacks in her community. Here is a quote:

Mrs. Merriweather’s large brown eyes always filled with tears when she considered the oppressed. “Living in that jungle with nobody but J. Grimes Everett,” she said. “Not a white person’ll go near ‘em but that saintly J. Grimes Everett.”

Then Miss Gates said, “That’s the difference between America and Germany. We are a democracy and Germany is a dictatorship. Dictator-ship,” she said. “Over here we don’t believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who are prejudiced.
