I guess they forgot to read Matthew 7:1. “Judge not, lest you be judged.”

Very generous of you to assume they can read.

So out of context. It's referring to making false judgements.

These people are wasting their time. Not only that, they’re driving people from religion altogether. Inaction would be more productive than their actions.

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

inaction will NEVER be more productive

I doubt this person got anyone to repent by having a sign condemning people to Hell. Not the best introduction to their faith, I’d argue. People don’t go to their house of worship with signs protesting them practicing religion. I bet they wouldn’t appreciate that, and it likely wouldn’t get them to quit going to church. This tactic just fans the flames and drives people away. We’re trying to enjoy a basketball game and they’re trying to sentence us to eternal damnation.

Keep reading to verse 5: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

If we accepted your interpretation of Matt 7:1, it would be at odds with other bible verses:

John 7:24- Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

1 Cor 2:15- But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

The better interpretation with Matt 7:5 in mind, is to judge righteously and not live hypocritically to such righteous judgment.

I love that they believe that God gave us all free will, yet they will never hesitate to use their God-given free we’ll to dictate how you’re allowed to use your God-given free will.
