All definitions from Mirriam Webster's online Collegiate: (www.m-w.com)
Main Entry: dog·ma·tism
1 : positiveness in assertion of opinion especially when unwarranted or
arrogant
2 : a viewpoint or system of ideas based on insufficiently examined premises
Main Entry: athe·ism
1 archaic : UNGODLINESS, WICKEDNESS
2 a : a disbelief in the existence of deity b : the doctrine that there is
no deity
While there are people who would equate the two, those people probably
wouldn't like it here.
In answer to your "toastiness" question, I'm relatively new but it's
certainly not always this bad.

I agree.
Like you, Chris, I'm a new member and have been watching for the last few
days... although to be honest the sheer quantity of mails means that perhaps
90% goes unread. Is this a bad time to join? Or is it always toasty warm
down with lucifer?
I have a CoV related question for the group. Please forgive me if this has
already been covered.
The Virus site seems quite adamant that it represents an atheist viewpoint.
And yet, one of the listed sins is dogmatism. Is not atheism not considered
dogmatic?
Nic.
