Often religious people are called hypocrites by those who don’t share their faith. How would you respond to someone asking you this?

This is such an oft-used weapon against Christians that it is good to have an opportunity to address it.
A hypocrite is a phony, an actor (it’s original meaning), one who pretends to be one thing when he is really another. Christians who understand that being saved from the power and penalty of sin does not mean that we are free of its presence, and will not be in this this life, are under no delusion of having “arrived,” and do not put themselves forward as such. We openly confess that we are still sinful, and therefore are not hypocrites. 
Sadly, there are some Christians, thankfully few, who do think that they are without sin, and when they prove otherwise, the title of hypocrite is appropriate.
This fits helpfully with last week’s question, if we as Christians have a proper estimation of ourselves we will not open ourselves up to the charge of hypocrisy.
