Atheism does not relieve from dogmatism and obedience. Their minds are just as closed as anyone's.

Completely untrue. If atheist's minds were closed, they would have silently accepted the misguided word of their fellow men that God exists. Atheistic minds are completely open to reality.
It is the religious mind that is closed. Not only that, the religious mind is generally fearful and irrational. And most often hateful and homicidal towards religious minds of differing dogma and mythology.
If you take a closed mind, and sprinkle in fear and irrationality, you pretty much have Christianity or Islam.
Interestingly, the religious mind always requires violence at some point to assert itself. The evidence is timeless and ubiquitous.
