articles of faith
Fundamental religious doctrines
Articles of faith are the core beliefs that define a religion or doctrine—the foundational claims a believer must accept.
Christianity has its creeds, Islam its pillars.
Extended to secular contexts, the phrase describes any principles held as unquestionable truth within a group or ideology: Free markets became articles of faith among certain economists.
The phrase often implies beliefs accepted without proof.
