Except you make a point based on using literal dictionary definitions of words, instead of a point based on what the meme really means to people who say it.

I’ve never heard it or said it before now, but what it tells me, is the meme is talking about religious people such as the religious hypocrites that Jesus contended against called the Pharisees, and is not talking about the truly devout.
Not in context. Jesus was not "messed up." The Pharisees were "messed up" and not just because of their false displays of righteousness, but because of their secret sins and their hypocrisy. They were "messed up" because they were living in sin while Jesus was fully righteous. So they were against him and attacking him because of his righteousness and because he was confronting them with their sins and calling them to repentance and to obedience to God.

And that is exactly what the "messed up" church is doing today, treating those who are walking in holiness and who are sharing the truth of the gospel with disdain, and that is the true theme of this meme. It is the "messed up" adulterous and idolatrous and false church decrying the truly religious who are walking in holiness and righteousness and who are sharing the truth of the gospel, and this is happening all the time now and Satan is behind it. And the goal is to turn darkness to light and light to darkness, to present the "messed up" as the good guys and the truly righteous as the bad guys.
