But when it come to objectivity, surely opinion is irrelevant?
The problem then, as I see it, is that to test for objectivity you'd need to compare what the bible (for example) says and compare that with the underlying reality (i.e. the "true" nature of god).
The fact that it can't even be demonstrated that such an underlying reality even exists surely precludes making such a comparison.
