icon

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

'religious book' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'religious' relates to this answer.

'information not following' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation for information).
'not' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in other clues).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'i'+'con'='ICON'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Admired figure" , "Uncritically admired object" , "Computer-screen symbol" , "Painting or person regarded as sacred" , "Cultural or computing symbol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
