For science the dogma is whatever theories are currently in vogue, generally these are grouped around a central belief- such as the primary reality being matter, not mind, and the belief that mind is purely a creation of matter.
For religion the dogma is whatever interpretation church elders place upon their "holy books".
Both are subject to change but generally at a glacial pace, particularly in the case of religion.
In both "cults of belief" dogmas are almost impossible to crack for you must first sign up to believe in the dogmas before the cults will even allow you a voice. And even then any sign of disagreement will most likely get you thrown out of the club!
It is the rare person that can go through the indoctrination machine and come out the other side with a mind free enough of dogma to be able to challenge it!
