There really isn't any other way to read that sentence, without adding "extras" to "customize" the meaning.
Like this:
(all)
Christians very often (in every case)
are busybodies, and they very often (always)
use their Christianity to justify it.
note: this is not my opinion, so please don't make me waste my time over the next 50 posts explaining and re-explaining this
