Atheism is not dogmatic per se, just like Christianity or any other belief system is not dogmatic per se.
But atheists are *capable* of dogmatism.
The point is no label of 'atheist' or 'Christian' automatically condones nor shelters you from dogmatism.

I don't dismiss Zeus or Thor. I believe that they really exist although not in the form that the ancient Greeks or Vikings worshiped them in their minds.
1 Corinthians 10:19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.

I don't think atheism is dogmatic. I think (as Aldous Huxley-an atheist-famously stated) it's a convenient way for people to ignore basic rules of behavior and morality.

Simple .... For christians it is in their little black book :
"For I am god, your lord, you shalt put no other gods before me"

"I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
And my Bible is burgundy (red), not black. ;-))
