I will read, and may respond later, to the rest of your post. However,
note that already, in your first sentence, you have taken what is merely
a division into categories to be discussed as a statement of opinion.

Dogma is not necessarily a curse word, as appears later in my post under
(B)(2).

You may want to reread what I wrote and respond again. At the moment,
I'm busy with other things.
