synagogue

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

'religious house' is the definition.
'synagogue' can be an answer for 'house' (I have seen 'house of worship' mean 'synagogue' so perhaps 'house' could also mean 'synagogue'). I'm not sure about the 'religious' bit.

'some initially unknown horse to move around fuel centre' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'some' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
'unknown' could be 'y' (algebra) and 'y' is found within the answer.
'move' could be 'go' (to go is to move) and 'go' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'gets' is the link.
