Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'religious' (pertaining to religion) modifying 'doctrine' (a taught belief system); together they clearly denote doctrines belonging to a religion. This modifier+noun pattern is productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the two words would readily infer the phrase's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase religious doctrine comes from a simple idea: religious shows it belongs to a faith and doctrine is like the lessons a teacher gives, the 'teachings' the group follows. That's why it means a 'set of beliefs' officially taught by a religious group.
