I think your modification of the meme only truly applies to the extremists of each group.
Completely agree! I have friends who go to church every Sunday who know I'm an atheist and treat me with plenty of respect. Heck, when I was a Girl Scout leader, I was at first to admit my lack of religion, but after doing so, the religious parents in my troop didn't treat me any differently, and still trusted me perfectly well with their kids.
Extremists don't like ANYONE except people with their near exact ideology. We can't lump a whole group in with their extremists (otherwise all atheists would be raging a-holes, lol).
