Subjectivism is the philosophical position that all knowledge and truths are subject to the individual's interpretation and experience. In reference to religion, this would deny the possibility of transcendent knowledge and imply that religion is not true apart from personal interpretation and experience.

What was protagoras view on moral relativism and skepticism about knowledge?
Protagoras believed in personal relativism, in other words, simple subjectivism. Subjectivism means that any judgement a person makes is solely based on their personal opinion on the matter. This means that their view is neither right nor wrong because it is an opinion. He also believed that two people could not disagree on a matter, but simply voice their opinions.

What is the philosophical theory that states that knowledge is absolutely unobtainable?
There is no such theory, because if there were one it would be hilariously self-defeating. If your still interested then some keywords to look up would be relativism and subjectivism. Also I suppose you could say Plato and some similar Eastern mysticism would say that we do not obtain knowledge, we simply remember it, but I do not think that is the answer you were looking for, right?
Why does c.s.lewis think there's a problem with theoretical error?
"Correct thinking will not make good men out of bad ones; but a purely theoretical error may remove ordinary checks to evil and deprive good intentions of their natural support. An error of this sort is abroad at present. I am not referring to the Power philosophies of the Totalitarian states, but to something that goes deeper and spreads wider and which, indeed, has given these Power philosophies their golden opportunity. I am referring to Subjectivism." - C.S. Lewis
Doctrine concerned only with fact and reality suffix ism?
An 'ism' suffix is always 'ism'.Realism is concerned with taking things as they are, or communicating things as close to 'real life' as possible, a fidelity and adherence to the facts of events, life and nature, without distortion, exaggeration or omission, with fair representation, so that the true reality of things/matters can be perceived/appreciated/understood by the recipient of the information.
What is ethical objectivism?
ETHICAL OBJECTIVISM In ethical objectivism moral values and virtues are intrinsic, not dependent on anything outside of them. In ethical objectivism moral law is uncreated and eternal and not subject to any will, divine or human. (One form of ethical objectivism is moral absolutism.) No will can lessen the consequence of acts against the law. There is no grace in ethical objectivism. In order to avoid punishment, one must perfect one's life and follow the law perfectly. The law of karma, continuous birth, death and rebirth until such moral perfection is reached, appears to be the ultimate expression of ethical objectivism. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, for most people one lifetime is not enough for such moral perfection. The "Law of Karma" holds that if people act in evil ways, that evil will eventually return to them. Conversely, if people do good deeds, then they will advance in spiritual progress. This is connected to reincarnation, where those with a "negative balance" in good deeds will come back in a lower position in society or the animal world. Ethical subjectivism, as we have seen above, is the opposite of ethical objectivism. Subjectivism says that the moral values are dependent on a human or divine will, that they can change from one situation to another. Please note that a large majority of Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in moral absolutism, which is a form of ethical objectivism. Also note that Buddhists may have a weaker definition of the law of karma. For some Buddhists it may simply mean that actions have consequences. When it comes to deciding whether Aristotle, Confucius, and the Buddha are ethical objectivists or subjectivists, you should focus on the following questions: (1) For Aristotle and Confucius who or what tells us the right action? (2) What is the role that God plays for Aristotle and Heaven for Confucius? and (3) Does "relative to" me in each of these thinkers undermine ethical objectivism?
