"I have studied religiology for many years, as I have compared different religions around this world. I am not a gullible person, as many less educated are. My tendency is Animism-Buddhism.

Etymology

First use appears c. 1634, from Christianity, replacing Christ with the abbreviation Xt (from Ancient Greek Χ (Kh, the letter chi), the first letter of Χριστός (Khristós, “Christ”) + t, the last letter of "Christ"). Compare the more common Xmas. By surface analysis, Xtian + -ity.
