After the verb 'doubt', 'that' should not be used. 'if' or 'whether' should be used in its place.

One of the member is picked from members.

@Aayam.

A is also the wrong sentence there.

@Aayam, where is a redundancy?

In redundancy, there must be a duplication of words.

Can any one see that the word athiest is spelled wrong here.

It should be atheist.

I don't understand what is the problem with "IF". And why "About" has been used ?

It has redundancy in using extra word expressed. We have to use doubted instead.

@ALL.

Since there is already "express-ed" is used there is no need of doubted.

That is correct because the person is in doubt and he is expressing not asking.
