Another one I like: atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color.

In general, all the analogies about non-hobbies are excellent and accurate. The main difference between atheists and non-stamp collectors is that there are no laws on the books that discriminate against the non-stamp collectors, and there is no general animosity from society-at-large towards them.

I've found that the overwhelming reason for atheists to gather (virtually or otherwise) is to address this discrimination and animosity.
