State capital has no love for religious ritual (9)
I believe the answer is:
sacrament
'religious ritual' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'state capital has no love for' is the wordplay.
'state capital' becomes 'sacramento' (Sacramento is an example).
'has no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'love for' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sacramento' with 'o' taken out is 'SACRAMENT'.
(Other definitions for sacrament that I've seen before include "Religious ritual" , "Church ritual imparting divine grace" , "Orders" , "baptism, say" , "Eucharist, for example" .)
