atheism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doctrine at odds with religious beliefs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'shame it unravelled' is the wordplay.
'unravelled' is an anagram indicator.
'shame'+'it'='shameit'
'shameit' anagrammed gives 'ATHEISM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atheism that I've seen before include "A lack of faith" , "Disbelief in a god" , "Lack of belief in the existence of God" , "displaying opposition to religion" , "Disbelief in gods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
