One of/ each of/ none of followed by plural noun.

After the doubt, that should not be used. Only 'if' or 'whether' should be used.
Here 'whether' is appropriate.
'if' is used for future tense.
eg: I doubt if Ravi will come.
Here 'whether' is appropriate.
'if' is used for future tense.
eg: I doubt if Ravi will come.

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

Here using "if" is wrong. Because If we are using any sentence with "if", it should be followed with some other subordinate clause.
Example: If i am a minister, I ll be doing this.
If i had 1 crore, i would have buy this house.
So using 'whether' is correct.
Example: If i am a minister, I ll be doing this.
If i had 1 crore, i would have buy this house.
So using 'whether' is correct.

This sentence is in indirect speech. If is used mainly for interrogative sentences. So here expressed should be followed by that.

When expressing doubt, if /whether is used. Therefore, the sentence is correct. If the member is sure that the minister is an atheist, he can 'declare' that.

Here the minister "doubted", means he wants to express his doubt.
"One of the members asked if the Minister was an atheist". Is correct.
"One of the members asked if the Minister was an atheist". Is correct.
