The Articles of Faith are a list of beliefs. Let's see what a creed is defined as, shall we?

 creed  /krid/ Show Spelled[kreed] Show IPA –noun

1.any system, doctrine, or formula of religious belief, as of a denomination.

2.any system or codification of belief or of opinion.

3.an authoritative, formulated statement of the chief articles of Christian belief, as the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, or the Athanasian Creed.

So, by definition, the AoF are a creed.
