You mean to tell me that your religion has nothing left after i strip it of dogma except 'faith'. Geez that is really sad... Dogma is man made, what does that tell you about your religion?

Faith and beliefs are part of the dogma and religious rules. If you eliminate the nonsense of religion you get down to the only justification it has, which is the caring for others.
The advantage of eliminating beliefs and faith also is it allows us to remove the things that divide religions from each other and cause the eternal fighting in the name of God.
Caring for others is what is left. The only important part of religion.

I don't have any religion. I'm an atheist. There is no dogma in it. There are no laws, either, just heuristics that have to be thought about before being applied to a situation.

This is what is left.
"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11

Plenty of questions and finally your intelligence is put to use. Religion takes away your reasoning capacity, because its about believing.

My religion doesn't present dogma! And "law" is part of GOD. You can't strip it away!

You have a piss poor definition of religion man.
When you find something that makes you happy and fulfills you then you will understand the fascination that we have with religion. Until then please don't try and pollute other people's happiness with your pessimism and semantics
