Hard to know without knowing the particular circumstances you are thinking of.
tribalism would be an instance of double mindedness. or the idea that one's religion is worse/better than another self's religion.

Yes, mind is a hypocritical buddy
can be, when self has a rule and discriminately applies it to some and not others. in other words it's ok for self and self's but not for another as self.Yes, mind is a hypocritical buddy
this is double mindedness, hypocrisy

Well we are all prone to it, so are we all hypocrites? It's just our minds trying to deal with a complex world.

Well, you learn something every day
yes, especially our youngerselves are prone to it. if we mature psychologically(spiritually) we become less polarized and see that everyone is someones baby

I don't know what you mean by "another self's religion". Other people are other people and are not me.
I have made up my mind about what is true when it comes to religion and so other "truths" are always wrong from that perspective.
I guess that means I am not double minded about these things. The double mindedness may be just you and may be caused by whatever beliefs/religion you see as being true..
