No smith is new to religion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shintoism

'to religion' is the definition.
(Shintoism is an example)

'no smith is new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'no'+'smith'+'is'='nosmithis'
'nosmithis' anagrammed gives 'SHINTOISM'.

(Other definitions for shintoism that I've seen before include "foreign religion" , "Japanese religion" .)
