Well, it's good to hear your opinion...

It depends on whom you're talking about. Perhaps you can call random yahoos on the internet dogmatic. It depends on why they support evolution. Would you call qualified biologists dogmatic? Would you call me dogmatic for holding fast to the claim that the Earth is round?

Having some of the qualities of something doesn't make for that something. A zeal for a subject may have some qualities of a religion but it's pure hyperbole to say that it is a religion...
