Some Christians (or any religion for that matter) uses their religion as an excuse to knowingly act immorally. Some people believe that if they pray or confess that they committed a sin or wrongful act that it will get "erased" and then they can go out and commit more wrongful acts since they are forgiven if they admit to it and say "I am sorry". Hypocrisy!
