Not collecting stamps

I was reading today’s post on Scott Adams blog, where he talks about the probable irrationality of atheists. Nothing new there. I was just amused to see SA quoting Kevin, albeit indirectly through me, I think:

Atheist: “Atheism is religion the same way that NOT collecting stamps is a hobby.”

Which I’m going to assume SA got from here:

someone said:

> you’re assuming that atheism is the “neutral” faith here. But is that not also a religious faith that we could possibly eliminate with science as well?

Like my friend says: atheism is a religion, like NOT-collecting stamps is a hobby.

It made someone’s quote of the week but it’s credited to anonymous. My friend is not anonymous!

    I don’t claim credit for it. I think I got it from that article about santa-ists.

    Nice theme! I need a new theme now :-(
