Dogma is dogma. Atheism is the underdog of dogmatic beliefs in the larger scheme of things, but it's still dogmatic when it claims to know the truth without being able to present any evidence.
I'm no more invested in criticizing atheists than I am in criticizing the religious, mind you, but I do get annoyed when someone claiming the mantle of 'scientist' decides to smugly make absolute claims regarding this, that nobody can prove or disprove with any reasonable degree of accuracy. Not to mention that its real motive isn't scientific, it's sociopolitical. It's really just a pissing match with the God crowd, and designed to whip up anger and build walls.
