Well, as I see it, people who run authoritarian, cell-structured
groups, if they're not in open conflict with each other, tend to stick
together.  As an example, it's recently been revealed that Jerry
Falwell was bailed out by Sun Myung Moon's empire; the fact that they
have seemingly contradictory beliefs doesn't stop them from sharing
resources and having very similar long-term goals - that being the
establishment of a theocratic government.

Same thing goes for McCartney.  He probably thinks gang members are
more receptive to his style of leadership.  Conflicts with their
beliefs, or the ethics of recruiting gang members, are secondary to
his goal of leading a winning team.

Determining the consequences of someone like that running an
organization with the size and apparent influence of the Promise
Keepers is left as an exercise for the reader.
