True on both accounts. I was referring to Southern Baptist in the previous article. Sorry on that. And, yes, the theological tenets of the Southern Baptist creed are dogmatic, but the members do not all agree nor condone the theological crapology of their leaders as in most things... :) Yeah, for me, when I chose to abandon the early teachings of parents, and elders, and make the choice based upon my understanding of self, society, and scientific and philosophical ideas I was fairly dogmatic in my own atheism for a long while, then realized that any dogma, atheistic or religious was self-defeating and not worthy of the effort. :)

and, sorry, didn't mean to single you out personally, was just using your example of agreeing with the statement "fundamentalism religion makes you stupid"... of course now that you've detailed your definition I can agree that you're perfectly legit in your estimation :) I too would agree that all fundamentalist dogma is thouroughly tempered by a literalist and tyrannical ideology based on intolerance and bigotry. My opinion. :0
