Morphology

Christianity = Christian (transparent) = Christ + ian + ity

Standard derivation from the adjective 'Christian' with the nominalizing suffix '-ity' to denote the state, system, or institution.

Etymology

Christianity comes from Christ, which is from the Greek Christos meaning 'anointed' or 'chosen', and the ending -ianity shows a group of beliefs about that person, so Christianity is the religion built around Jesus Christ.
