What are some of the more important or noticeable reasons why people who say they’re Christians don’t act like it?

Sin entered the world during the fall, and therefore our hearts are deceitful and full of sin. No matter how much we love God and are in relationship with him, we still are not perfect and make mistakes causing other who witness this to believe that they are seeing someone who is not a Christian.
