faux-righteous teacher 

One who pretends to be a high credibility or operates under false pretenses in order to earn money and truly not help their communities as they proclaim to.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was considered to be a “poor righteous teacher”, but people like televangelist are more like faux-righteous teachers. They simply pretend to do it for the good of others but they profit largely from their exploitation of faith and community giving.
