"The term 'dogma' refers to a coherent, universally applied worldview consisting of a collection of beliefs and attitudes that call for intellectual and emotional allegiance. As such, a dogma has a power over individuals and communities that is far greater than the power of mere facts and fact-related theories. Indeed, it may prevail despite the most obvious contrary evidence, and commitment to it may grow all the more zealous when obstacles are met. There are many kinds of dogmas, including religious, philosophical, political, and scientific."
