In politics, a dogma is an opinion expressed as fact without thought as to its accuracy or relevance or to different opinions on the same subject, particularly where the "dogma" is long established within a group or organisation. Often, but not exclusively, said of the established party line of a political party, particularly by its opponents.
In Christian theology, a dogma is a theological belief that must be held in order to be a Christian. These are defined in part to distinguish dogmas from theological opinions, or beliefs about which Christians are free to disagree. Exactly which beliefs are dogmas can vary considerably among Christian groups. For most of Eastern Christianity, the dogmas are contained in the Nicene Creed and the first three or seven Ecumenical councils. Protestants may also affirm these, but often rely on a "Statement of Faith" which summarizes their dogmas, drawn up by their individual denomination.
