You are mistaken. There is a YouTube video maker who uses "nonstampcollector" as his user name, in reference to the the term as it is used. The term "non-stamp collector" is older than his username, and he adopted it because it is a recognizable term. Similarly, if I am a golf fan, and I create a user name "golffan" on YouTube and post videos there, saying you are a "golf fan" does not mean you agree with those videos. It just means you like to golf.

The videos are not the purpose of this thread, whether you agree with them (as I do) or don't (as you do). If you wish to start your own thread discussing those videos, please feel free to do so. If you wish to identify yourself as a non-stamp collector, also feel free to do so. If you don't, then I can't understand why you are participating in this thread.

A non-stamp collector isn't only an atheist. It is anyone who doesn't have a religion. There's a difference.

I was a stamp collector. Because I was told that was what I wanted/needed to do.

Now I know what I want and need. And no stamps are involved.

(Seems like stamp non-collector is more gramatically correct.)

I agree that "non-stamp collector" is awkward, and I wonder why that was the hobby chosen for the metaphor. If I remember it correctly, the argument went something like this:

People are unified by something in common. Baseball players play baseball, stamp collectors collect stamps. But if ten people say they are not a part of a group, what else other than their lack of membership unites them? Is being a "non-stamp collector" one who doesn't collect stamps? Is there something that unites all those who do not collect stamps? You can't define a group by non-membership to another group. To do so is an exercise akin to herding cats.

"If god doesn't like the way I live, Let him tell me, not you."

Quote off that webpage with the non stamp collectors. I like it. There's 7 billion of us, we can't all expect to subscribe to the same beliefs and thinking that we ever will is pure naivety.
