Are you saying buddhism/taoism have no dogma ? that's wrong, they have, plenty... they have no god, sure, but really there is a set of thing that qualify as dogma... if you reject everything buddhism tell you (as they fake you can), how can you qualify yourself as buddhist ? As soon as you qualify yourself as belonging to one "religious" group, then that means you follow a set of principle defining such religious group and so following some dogma. If not, why qualifying you in the first place, you could as well belongs to the other group.
