Entering parish, a man is mocking this religion (9)

I believe the answer is:

shamanism

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

'entering parish a man is mocking' is the wordplay.
'entering' indicates a hidden word.
'SHAMANISM' is hidden in the letters of 'parish a man is mocking'.

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

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
