On the other hand, cargo-cult free-thinking can be, at least for me, far more obnoxious than just plain religious close-mindedness. And in that regard, an atheist librarian may well be much worse than a regular churchy girl (or guy).

I agree with your underlying point, but you brutally twisted my message in order to make your point.

I said "religious fundamentalist", not "close minded" or "regular churchy girl (or guy)", so you're talking about something other than what I was talking about. There is a world of difference between a fundamentalist who thinks (for example) that the Earth is 6,000 years old and the bible is the literal word of God, and the average church-going person.
