What is religious dogma, are you trapped in religious dogma?

There is a lot of debate over what exactly is religious dogma. It is believed to be a set of guidelines that individuals must follow in order to be legal citizens of their country or state. It can be found in books and movies, or be found online. It can be that way for ever what the word means. It is often felt to be restrictive and constricting, particular in regards to personal beliefs and individual conscience.

Religious dogma are the principle or set of principles laid down by our ancestors. Different religions have set different principles. What is okay in one religion may not be so in another religion. But invariably almost all of us follow the principles laid down in the religion to which one belongs.

Regarding your second question, I would say that I am trapped but just obeying my forefathers.

Dogma is set of principles/rules laid down by those in authority and shouldn't be compromised.

By religious dogma, I think those rules set by the church elders and some things shouldn't be done and if they're done a certain consequence should follow.
I don't think am stuck in religious dogma. Since Jesus died on the cross,He cut off the boundary and we can go to Him and request His favours.
I don't think I'll see a neighbour dying in the next door and refuse to lend a hand by taking him to the hospital simply because its on a Sabbath, a day that am supposed to be worshipping. That will be hypocrisy and I follow the Bible teachings not rules set a side.

Religious dogma is the doctrine of belief in a religion. They are sometimes characterized as beliefs held to be without proof. 

A lot of times these beliefs are often intertwined with the ideas of the ordinary men that find their way into the doctrines of religion. When you understand religion, you'll know that is is beyond the opinion of man. It is spiritual. 

If you understand religion without bias, you can't be trapped in it as it will encompass a total way of life and you'll also understand that there is no compulsion in religion.

Religious dogma is persons following the religion that they were brought up into because they feel a sense of loyalty to their families and respective places of worship that introduced them to the religion. I am trapped in religious dogma but only by my choice of religion.

I'm not trapped in religious dogma as of this very time, because I do believe in what is written and be read in the Holy Bible.If it is not present in the Holy Bible then it will be considered as superstitious belief and irrelevant in regards in following Jesus.2tim 3:16 says" All scripture is given by inspiration of God,and is profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in righteousness.

Religious dogma is a set of beliefs or doctrines that are considered to be absolute truth by a particular religion. It is usually based on the teachings of a particular faith and is usually accepted without question by adherents of the religion. Whether or not one is "trapped" in religious dogma depends on the individual's beliefs and how much they are willing to question those beliefs.

Religious dogma refers to a set of beliefs, principles and doctrines that are widely accepted by members of a particular religion. These beliefs and doctrines often dictate how followers should live and interact with one another and the world around them. Dogmas can also provide guidance in matters of ethics and morality, and are meant to provide structure for a community. Dogmas may be found in holy scriptures or created through religious councils and decisions made by church leaders.

doctrine or body of doctrines concerning faith or morals formally stated and authoritatively proclaimed by a church. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
