that is in fact literally in the bible. it's Matthew 6:5.
5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

When all people hear is immigration is bad and we need to bring immigration down, then people will start to think and say that immigration is bad and we need to bring immigration down. Elite behavior shapes public opinion. It‘s one way this government has strengthened the far right.

A lot of climate mitigation advice ignores a key constraint: will people actually do it? In our new paper, we use a “personalised scenario testing” tool and ask people to build a plan to cut their own emissions by 30% (Swiss sample, n=2,793).

Climate politics sounds increasingly polarised. But in Europe, support for climate isn’t driven by die-hard supporters or opponents. It tends to be shaped by a large “conditional middle” (33%).
