Or even stranger, we cannonie them for their beliefs, but don't ascribe to their beliefs ourselves. Thus, we redefine their beliefs and identify with them.
This reminds me of Jesus rebuking the pharisees for decorating the tombs of the prophets and lamenting their deaths at the hands of their fathers, saying "we wouldn't have done this!", and at the same time in their own day they crucified the Son of God.
