Odd claim involving one’s secularity (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laicism

'secularity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'odd claim involving one's' is the wordplay.
'odd' is an anagram indicator.
'involving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one's' becomes 'i's' (Roman numeral).
'claim' with letters rearranged gives 'laicm'.
'laicm' going around 'is' is 'LAICISM'.

(Another definition for laicism that I've seen is " Secularity".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
