Any religion with the concept of "dogma" built in will eventually bang

 Really? The Catholic Church has loads of dogma; would you care to
identify where it bumps heads with science?
 

  It's like a dent in your brain.

 How much of a dent did Nicolaus Copernicus, Gregor Mendel, or George
Lemaître have?  Or, if you'd prefer to go more recent, Ken Miller or
George Coyne; or moving beyond Catholicism, Francis Collins or John
Polkinghorne?
 

"Sin" and "spirit"
are loaded subjects.

 

Heads bump wherever there are things which cannot be questioned.  This certainly doesn't preclude science, but it marks some areas as inaccessible.  Catholicism doesn't have a corner on dogmatism; my brother-in-law (whom I highly regard) is a fundamentalist protestant. We don't discuss science.
