Pharisees were legalists and religious exhibitionists, more interested in appearing pious than being pious. They're coming in the windows in America (and I'm sure, everywhere else.) Pharisees were Jewish in Christ's time, but they know no denomination. There may be more Christian Pharisees now than Jewish ones. The only reason why there aren't any Atheist Pharisees is not that Atheists are too moral, but that they don't profess a belief in God.
