It is not. Your definition of dogma is flawed.

We can never know anything in the absolute sense, and I'm absolutely certain of that LOL but yes, there is s lot we do know tentatively.

If focusing on the astronomical and cosmological science, you can find lots of ancient/religious/mythological descriptions which can enlighten you about the scientific contents.
You can for instants read this Vedic Philosophical Article

The link did not work "Page not found".
The contents of the universe aren't scientific. Science is a methodology for understanding the universe, not the universe itself.
What "scientific data" is available in mythology beyond simple observations (many of which were wrong in their conclusions)?

It's an uphill battle because people can't accept the idea that modern man might not only be wrong but we aren't the very crown of creation.

Very true!
The universe isn't mathematical either but math obeys the same rules of logic that govern reality (IMO). There are no "laws of nature" but reality itself is logical and this logic appears to be law from the perspective of our science.

There are in fact laws of nature. they are descriptive and not prescriptive. They describe how things work, they do not cause things to work.
You are the final mystery. You have to solve it for yourself.

What does that even mean? LOL
It's a "deepity"....something that sounds profound but doesn't actually say anything.

A blanket statement "Religion requires adherence to dogma" is a dogma.
Definition of dogma
1a: something held as an established opinion especially : a definite authoritative tenet
b: a code of such tenets pedagogical dogma
c: a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds

Unless you are an expert on Comparative Mythology and ancient symbolism, you really cannot decide what is wrong or not.
Even if you read the biblical Story of Creation it´s deepest content is astronomical and cosmological.

Which, of course, explains why you're against abortion and men marrying boys, yes?

You didn't answer the question......
As for abortion, not to mention infanticide,. God's all for it ─
Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
But he's a notorious homophobe, of course. quite obsessed with it. Makes me wonder what the real story was with his very bitter divorce from Asherah. He never remarried, as you know.
Still, you didn't answer my question. Do you believe that it's necessary to believe in God, or a god, in order to act morally?

The universe may have always existed. See the big bounce theory of where it gets so big, collapses and re-expands.
Then there's the multi-universe theory.
There is no evidence it was created by a god.

Or that there is a god
The actual title of Krauss' book is: "A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing".
I do not understand your strategy.
It seems like you think you know the atheist mindset by heart, yet from the output it's obvious you have barely any experience in actually dealing with people outside your own bubble. Because what you're doing is a disservice to your cause.
