An "article of belief" refers to a fundamental concept, idea or principle that forms a part of a belief system or a religion. Synonyms for this phrase include "credo," "dogma," "doctrine," "belief system," "tenet," "faith," "conviction," and "principle." These concepts are often regarded as essential to the core beliefs and practices of a certain group or community. While each religion or belief system has its own set of articles of belief, they all serve the same purpose, which is to provide a moral compass for individuals to guide their lives, and to foster a sense of community and unity among its followers.
