Shout at religious leaders for making up rules for others to follow, particularly if they don't follow them themselves, but just generally, too.
Shout at people using places of worship as a money making scheme, and drive them out with the threat of physical violence.
Remind people that they should be particularly careful to help out poor people and foreigners.
Remind people to act in love. Not "tough love" that doesn't help, not walking by doing nothing because you're busy, but spending your own money to help someone in need, even if your country sees them as enemies.
Treat people who society codemns for their sexual behaviour with humanity and point out to the ones doing the condemning that they're not as pure as they like to think they are and they have no right to condemn others.
Teach people to forgive others who've wronged them and turn the other cheek if they're hit.
Tell rich folk they should give away their money to poor folk.
Imagine if religious leaders and government leaders and people generally actually did this stuff.
“I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ”
I mean, it’s not even confirmed Gandhi ever said this and the sentiment is true no matter who said it but go off
