To be an "atheist dogma" it woudl at least have to have some sort of authority over those considering themselves atheists. But if atheism by definition includes everyone who isn't a theist then how could there be any single authority ?
quote:
Because I feel the dogma can be specific to each indiviual, or groups of individuals who feel the same way. Since it is a belief, whether true or not, then it doesn't have to be a written law
I never said that it had to be written. Nor that it had to be a law. I'm going by the definition YOU provided.
However if we are talking about an atheist dogma it can't be held by an individual atheist or small groups of atheists. It has to be at least a large group of atheists and it has to have authority.
quote:
The first word in that definition is "authoritative" - so where is the relevant "authority" ?
Still don't know what you mean by that.
If you don't understand the definition you offered then you are in no position to make claims based on it. You cannot say that something fits a definition you do not understand.
