Fellow is probing bogus religion (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shamanism

'religion' is the definition.
(shamanism is a kind of religion)

'fellow is probing bogus' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'probing' indicates putting letters inside (probe can mean to make a hole in).
'bogus' becomes 'sham' (both can mean fake).
'man'+'is'='manis'
'manis' placed inside 'sham' is 'SHAMANISM'.

(Another definition for shamanism that I've seen is " religion".)
