Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'Christian' (related to Christianity) with 'religion' (a structured set of beliefs); together they plainly denote the religion of Christians. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Christian religion gets its name from people who follow Christ, a title for Jesus that means 'chosen by God'. Early followers were called 'Christians', so the phrase refers to the religion of people who follow Jesus's teachings.
