Subjective beliefs (of a person). If these are similar of a group of people: intersubjective beliefs (of a group). If all groups and all people hold the exact same beliefs: objective beliefs.
Hence the required distinction
OK then to both of you. In a group of people identified as believing that nothing is 100% knowable and that life is experiential first and consequential second ; what would you suppose they see as objective.
Let's say they all experienced gravity, knew through repetition that throwing an apple up means it falls down (but not necessarily) and holding the belief the belief that nothing is 100% knowable (agnostic) Do you think they see gravity as objective or intersubjective?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
