Romans 2.24
24. 'The Name of GOD is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,' just as it is written. (Isaiah 52.5) (Ezekiel 36.20-23) (Romans 2.24).
How can this happen? It is absolutely clear that those who call themselves as Christians represent the GOD on Earth, and whatever they say or do they presented their GOD in their life, in their words, and their deeds, the GOD in Whom they believe, worship and obey.
Not all ordinary people are stupid and many of them know very well the Bible and even some of them at one time once were members of the church.
So, when people see hypocrisy, deceit, greed, lies, and all sorts of evil in so call "Christians" they think that they represent their GOD in such way, and so their GOD may be just like them in all they do.
This issue relates to all believers no matter in which god they believe, but so call "Christian" are particularly guilty of it, because they represent One Living Mighty True GOD, and just like Jews before them go astray from GOD in their ungodly desires and sins but keep preaching and teaching people who obviously see what kind "teachers" they are.
I believe that everyone who misrepresents GOD in such way is guilty of unbelief and blasphemy of those who see hypocrisy, deceit. lies, and evil deeds in those who claim to be "Christians," and instead of bringing people to GOD they deflect and draw away people from GOD and many souls are lost because of these false "Christians." They do more harm to GOD and people than good.
As numerous times recorded in the Bible, everyone will receive from GOD their reward according to their deeds, one Day it certainly will come true, and it will too late for such false "Christians" to change anything.
