Inspired by a new religious centre (7)
I believe the answer is:
vatican
'religious centre' is the definition.
(centre of Catholicism)
'inspired by a new' is the wordplay.
'inspired' becomes 'vatic' (vatic means inspired or possessed like a prophet).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'vatic'+'a'+'n'='VATICAN'
(Other definitions for vatican that I've seen before include "religious authority" , "Papal authority" , "Papal palace" , "Ecclesiastical city" , "See City" .)
