Mark g, surely as an atheist, I am admitting freely that I do not know the answers to all the things believers are sure of - is that not honest and humble? hmmmmm?

Indeed it is and is one of my many objections to Religion, possibly the most important.

What I would call undignified would be the inability to leave open the possibility that there is things in this world you cannot understand. That the only possibility is what you believe to be true. That there is nothing more to learn as you have all the knowledge necessary.
Then you have to call yourself agnostic, not an Atheist

Without submission to true religion, man cannot know his true dignity. Even the saint has not reached the station of a true man; that is why we must learn to conduct our lives as having possessed a pure, kindly and radiant heart. The saints were called saints only because they were so rare in the society of sinners.
The society with more true men is the real society of the rational, intelligent, virtuous humanity.

Is submission to religion a bit undignified for the most intelligent creatures, ie Mankind?
By what I see today in this world how can you call mankind intelligent?

I think that humility seems to be a problem for most human beings. We want to think that we know it all and don't need anything or anyone, even God.
However, the truth is, we are fragile and vulnerable and very much in need of the comfort and love that knowing God can bring.
Most of us have to go through a tradgedy of some sort before we get the message...that we need God.
How sad that we choose to submit only when we are forced into submission by negative circumstances. It is only when things are out of control, that we see we really have no control...and only God does.
He has things in control, no matter what we are seeing or feeling.
And He loves us. In spite of ourselves and our stubborn and willful ways.
That is the miracle. That He loves us in spite of ourselves.

The key to your question is your mistaken use of the word submission. We are not submitting, rather "embracing" religion and so grateful for the peace our belief and faith brings to us.

submission to the will of God is required for the believers. and we don't see it as undignified rather being grateful.
peace be with you.

Submission to theological dogma yes but not submission to moral precepts but you don't need a religion to do that.
