What rot! Atheists believe there is not god, not that there is no religion. If aren't surre about the non-existence of a god, you're not an atheist. Your analogy sucks -the stamp collecting would be the religion the stamps would be the god.
Atheists would not believe that the stamps existed -no interest in the people who collect them.
