I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

    I suspect Satanists and others on the left hand path would disagree but I agree you’re functionally correct

      I would suggest that various flavors of Satanism have a dogma, and more than one version has scriptures, be they LaVey’s book or the Satanic Temple’s tenets.

        I can understand why the Satanic Bible might look like dogma, I don’t agree that it is. And religions like the Setians specifically don’t have any dogma.

        I think your point generally holds true largely due to the reality of the world, in principle and philosophy though, totally possible to find counter examples.
