I've seen the same sort of thing, and it doesn't really matter what religion you talk about -- zealotry is zealotry, and is equally unpleasant to deal with regardless of which specific flavour of zealotry you're having to deal with.
There is much hatred and many wars that have been spawned by religious zealots over the last few thousand years, and even if the zealots in question are not advocating violence, the simple fact that they are zealots and pushing their beliefs on others is enough. It doesn't matter if they are Jehovah's Witnesses that are going door-to-door in the neighborhood, Hare Krishnas at the airport, or any other religious/ethnic sterotype.
So, don't paint us with the same brush that you violently disagree with being used on you. We're not necessarily saying anything particular about your specific religion -- it's much more likely to be a general distaste for any kind of zealotry.
