Maoist converted to his country's religion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taoism

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

'religion' is the definition.
(Taoism is an example)

'maoist converted to his country's' is the wordplay.
'maoist' anagrams to 'TAOISM'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taoism that I've seen before include "Religious movement" , "Chinese philosophical system" , "Confused Maoist in Chinese religious system" , "Maoist (anag) -- Chinese religion" , "philosophy in China" .)
