However I do think that the word dogmatic can mean unwavering in opinion.

“To be dogmatic is to follow a set of rules no matter what. The rules might be religious, philosophical, or made-up, but dogmatic people would never waver in their beliefs so don't even think of trying to change their minds”.

I find the atheist movement becoming more and more zealous as well as intolerant and disrespectful to people of faith.
Not being convinced of something due to a lack of evidence at a particular juncture in time is not dogmatic, old fruit. If evidence appears in due course and is convincing then I will take it on board. That's not exactly never waivering in a 'belief'. (I don't have a 'belief' as such, at this point in time).

You may believe in talking snakes and donkeys but I am not aware of any evidence to back it up. Similarly, I have no access to evidence about deities with elephant heads, eagle heads or a horse's torso. You probably don't believe in the latter three or thousands of other gods that have been worshipped so does that make you dogmatic by your own projected logic?

Are you really not able to understand the difference between being unconvinced due to a lack of evidence of something (although understanding that new evidence may indeed be discovered and be taken into account in due course) and being so dogmatic that whatever you are convinced of is unassailably correct whilst all alternatives are incorrect?

I think the dogmatism is one way here, old fruit. You are merely projecting.
