Just because a question has not been adequately explained yet, that isn't a free for all for everyone to claim their guess has any merit. The wise thing to do is to wait until there is enough evidence. There may never be, but "I don't know" is always a better answer than
"Here's some shit I made up / was made up 2000 years ago". The latter stifles inquiry because you feel you already have the answer.

One of the reasons religion is so popular is people often aren't comfortable admitting uncertainty.

Being dogmatic about uncertainty, is still dogmatism.

I literally have no idea what you mean here.

Are your stating that being intellectually honest about a position one has inadequate data in which to draw a positive or negative concussion either way equates to dogmatism? ARe you thus inferring that saying something is true, say, without the data to back it up is preferable?

As above, saying 'I don't know' =/= atheism.
