Morphology
The meaning 'a book or written work considered sacred' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'religious' (relating to religion) with 'text' (written material). This adjective+noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Religious text joins religious, meaning 'about faith', and text, meaning 'a written book', to create the image of a book like the Bible or the Quran that people read for guidance and worship. So, it means 'a book or writing that is sacred and important in a religion'.
