Atheist Dogmatism
The tendency to treat atheist conclusions (e.g., "God does not exist," "religion is harmful") as proven certainties that cannot be questioned, rather than as philosophical positions open to revision. Atheist dogmatism shuts down inquiry by declaring religious belief irrational, stupid, or evil, without engaging with sophisticated theology or the social role of religion. It often dismisses agnosticism as cowardice and treats any doubt about atheism as a return to superstition. It is the mirror image of religious dogmatism.
Example: "He refused to read any theological work, saying 'it's all nonsense.' Atheist dogmatism: certainty without examination."
