Idolise at all during Religious Education? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

revere

'idolise' is the definition.
(I know that idolise can be written as revere)

'at all during religious education?' is the wordplay.
'at all' becomes 'ever' (I've seen this in another clue).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'religious education?' becomes 'RE' (abbreviation).
'ever' inserted within 're' is 'REVERE'.

(Other definitions for revere that I've seen before include "Think a lot of" , "Look up to - American patriot, d. 1818" , "Venerate, adore" , "Hold in great respect" , "Worship, usually a deity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
