In our galaxy, the average distance between stars can be calculated to somewhere around 3.5-4.5 light years. Since we're located on the edge of the galaxy, our neighbouring stars are pretty far away, but even so, Proxima Centauri (the closest star from us) is just 4.2 light years away. If you calculate the average between stars in the entire universe, the number increases dramatically since galaxies are very far apart. This means that with a little perspective - pretty much every star you can see is like a next door neighbour. You might think stars are just tiny dots in the sky; but I assure you they're pretty big up close. What I'm saying is that your statment is like saying that America is a country, but France is not, because France is too far away from America. There are tons of books on astronomy in the library; I suggest you get one.
