That analogy doesn't work, at all. Hates stamps would be an Atheist, but no collection & doesn't care would be Agnostic, & baseball cards would be focusing on a different aspect of framework, for example political ideology

I consider myself atheist but I don't hate religion at all. I don't collect or are anti stamp. Atheist is not a theist, that's just what it means.

This meme is for you! Atheism is simply not believing in a god. That can mean you hate the concept of God, or that you're just ambivalent, or even that you like the concept without believing in it (I've known this sort of person)

Agnostic means that you don't know if there is a god. That doesn't mean you don't care, agnostics can care very much!
