Adjective (comparative = more adogmatic, superlative = most adogmatic)
A quality of rejecting
dogma in all forms. An aversion to stubbornly adhering to insufficiently proven beliefs; and those persons who feel that they
must.
*Note* Similar but distinct from
Atheist, Antitheist, Agnostic! This regards dogma specifically. An adogmatic person might have belief in ~ or open mind regarding ~ preternatural matters... but will NEVER go on a
jihad \ crusade \ killing spree - or persecute anyone over superstitious trivia.
Synonyms: Open-minded, thoughtful, thinker, free-thinker, intellectually active, unbrainwashed.
Etymology:
From Latin (a-), “‘without’”) + dogma ('philosophical tenet'), from Ancient
Greek δόγμα ('
opinion, tenet')
LIKELY adogmatists: Christopher Hitchins, God, Bill Maher, The Great Atheismo, Dennis Miller, Jon Stewart, Jesus of Nazareth, Richard Dawkins, Albert Einstein .....
Oh, he's so adogmatic that he refuses to join our crusade against the heretics that use the
words "debt" and "debtors" in The Lord's Prayer!!!
Please understand, I am adogmatic. I don't care about
virgin births, throwing salt over a shoulder, or who was "daddy's favourite" hundreds of years ago! Can we discuss things that matter - and can be defined - in a sensible manner? ... Didn't think so.
Peace. *walks away sadly*
