To him, there is only is perception, with nothing behind the perceptions ~ he believed that if no conscious being is observing something, it therefore exists in the mind of God. Berkeley further believed that God directly wills us to perceive objects, so God doesn't actually create anything.

Subjective Idealism is thus not what you might have thought.
So what would we call an Idealism where there are only the Many, with consensus reality an "overlap" or perhaps "agreement" between them?
Polytheistic Idealism maybe, though I don't know if every Subject within the Many would have a "divine" status...
Pluraristic Idealism may be the best term for an Idealism that lacks a One as Ground but still allows for a consensus/shared world by the Many?
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
