@PhilosophyExp Yep - I wouldn't use non-stamp collecting to talk about 'movement' atheism though.
@NotungSchwert But even then... (with a tiny bit of wriggle room), atheism at the very least suggests a non-trivial metaphysical position...

@PhilosophyExp Oh of course - I wouldn't claim that non-stamp collecting is *like* atheism. Rather, non-stamp collecting is a negative...1/2 -
@PhilosophyExp ...position in the same way atheism is a negative position - if someone is having trouble with the 'negative' part. 2/2 -
@NotungSchwert movement atheism, atheism suggests certain postiive metaphysical claims (which will have consequences for identity). -
@PhilosophyExp I suppose, but non-stamp collecting has certain positive effects - that it gives me more time to play trombone, say. -
@PhilosophyExp So it's a question of degree. God is much more important to one's worldview than stamps.
