Which religions, do you believe, are the most reactionary and most prone to dogma?.

all the patriarchal religions.

They first abstract polar related reality. 'good' and 'evil', 'nature' and 'spirit', 'male' and 'female'. 'light' and 'dark' 'God' and 'Devil' 'life' and 'death' and so on. Then they deify what they consider is the 'good-positive' and demonize the 'bad-negative'....so for example, male is better than woman, light is better than dark, life's better than death

This goes right to the heart of the individual indoctrinated in this dogma. so that she/he is split between a good and a bad. and the good must overcome the bad, so as to become ALL-good. this means that this mindset HAs to find a scapegoat. for christians it becomes the 'Devil' and all people(s) associated with him. This has bred such cruelty and violence and stll goes on

Would it be a tautology to say that few religions are prone to dogma, it is there adherents who, from time to time, and with varying intensity, apply a dogmatic approach?
In the matter of reactionary this is as much a reflection of where they (and their society) are in their life cycle. Many (most?) religions have begun as revolutionary concepts, distant from reaction (and dogma).
