Love inspired by god as a consequence in temple (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pantheon

'temple' is the definition.
(a pantheon is a temple for multiple gods)

'love inspired by god as a consequence' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'inspired by' is an insertion indicator (some letters breathed in or 'inspired' by others).
'god' becomes 'Pan' (Pan is a Greek god).
'as a consequence' becomes 'then' (if X, then Y).
'pan'+'then'='panthen'
'o' placed inside 'panthen' is 'PANTHEON'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pantheon that I've seen before include "All the gods of a people or religion" , "Temple of all the gods in ancient Greece" , "Ancient Roman temple" , "Temple dedicated to all the gods" , "Roman building" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
