'some believe this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'object dyke-builder hit disintegrated' is the wordplay.
'object' becomes 'article'.
'dyke builder' becomes 'offa' (I've seen this before).
'disintegrated' is an anagram indicator.
'hit' anagrammed gives 'ith'.
'article'+'offa'+'ith'='ARTICLE OF FAITH'
