Shame, it turned into disbelief (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atheism

'disbelief' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'shame it turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' is an anagram indicator.
'shame'+'it'='shameit'
'shameit' with letters rearranged gives 'ATHEISM'.

'into' is the link.

(Other definitions for atheism that I've seen before include "Owed" , "Disbelief in gods" , "Disbelief in a god" , "Non-belief in God" , "A lack of faith" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
