Some religions may be, that doesn't mean they all are, however.
Could you give an example of a religion without dogma ?
Platonism, buddhism branches, taoism, neoplatonism, the individual
religion of all mystics, and ... the theology of numbers.
In other words, what all the rest of the world calls "philosophy".
It can be done with the scientific modest attitude and respect for the
plausible facts, but then the world call it science. "philosophy" has
different meaning from university to university. I use it for those
who defend the truth of some theories, which is something we don't do
in science, be it in theology or botanic.
Atheism is not a religion, just as a vacant lot is not a type of
building,
That's agnosticism. With atheism, the lot is not vacant. (confusion
between ~[]p and []~p).
