Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'religious' specifies the domain (religion) and 'belief' denotes a conviction, so the meaning 'a belief related to religion' follows directly from its parts. This adjective+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Religious belief comes from the simple image of a religion giving someone a 'belief' to hold; religious shows the source (a religion) and belief is what a person accepts as true. So it means a strong trust in a 'supernatural power' or in the religion's ideas.
