Reality is a meme too. But you mean "God is nothing but a meme, while
'reality' refers to what's out there". But that (the first part) is
no longer true if the word is used to represent reality. Which is what
Richard did.
Now, I wonder if any believers in "God" have ever used that meme to
refer to something that non-believers in "God" actually believe in.
