I believe the answer is:

follower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disciple' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'most of religious community let down' is the wordplay.
'most of religious community' becomes 'fol' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'let down' becomes 'lower' (synonyms).
'fol'+'lower'='FOLLOWER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for follower that I've seen before include "One accepts the leadership of another" , "fan" , "Supporter" , "Disciple" , "A devotee or a pursuer" .)
