Has anyone spotted the sleight of hand in giving that belief-system the "-ity" suffix, in nearly all cases reserved for measurable physical properties. Try "-ity" for yourself.
We don't apply "-ity" to ANY other religious or political concepts.

Such a great conclusion. Now think about "Calamity" and change it to our present state of human affairs: "Calamism". Or "Calamitism". The continued and willful creation of calamity.
I suppose it's to convey solidity, like a rock. Not a mere human belief system, but a supposed mountain of "truth" which was once (and still is) ironically and nevertheless called "faith", i.e. belief. So, to which I'll add, impenetrability, and insanity.
Respect and thanks, but all those you mention except Christainity are in truth measurable qualities. You can have a bit of Liberty, Puberty is a process from 0 to 1, Reality is always fractional (ask the meditative masters!).
I assent to Trinity because I don't know what it means or, rather, it has no place in my personal collection of ideologies.
But here's a thought!:
I was lying. My trinity is: the three qualities of Mentality, Sentimentality, Spirituality, in that order, and if some of the sayings of the meditative masters are correct then most souls do not confront this during their lifetime and some even of those in the after-lifetime.
Mentality is required for the basic maintenance of life. Sentimentality for the correct operation of the human group (our moods modified by others). And Spirituality, connection with the other world(s), parallel worlds, spirits, fairies, all that stuff, does not work where the other two remain undeveloped. The fake religion of Individualism keeps us stuck in Mentality and the group power of human advance, remember, humans exist only by and from co-operation, the power of advancement of the community: the group power of human advance works only when Sentimentality is measured as non-zero. Consequentially, without the power of the group mind working like that, we are victims of the verbal manipulation (Mentality) of those to whom we defer The Budget.
Whether that may make sense now or later I leave to Due Consideration, which takes time, always.
Your remark looks to me like a sort of decoy! LOL -- can you be a partial Christian? Believe that JC did resurrect but was not crucified? Accept the miracle of loaves but not fishes? and so on.
Christianity/ism comprises a dogma, a doctrine, a narrative, some antecedents and some prophecy, together with mythic and legendary extrapolations. All of this is accepted by a Christian. Even some of the implications of Bread and Wine, enough that, written into English Law after the Reformation of Henry VIII is that a Catholic accepts those implications whereas an Anglican does not, such that the Test Act was passed to ensure that the Catholic Church could never again sanction the English Monarch.
This makes the Anglican Christian a partial Christian in the eyes of the mother church? or vice versa?
Christianity is not in the same taxonomic class as Opacity, Gravity, Viscosity, and so on, it is NOT a measurable item.
...
These are all items that fall into my bag of Mentality because they are measurable, countable, comparable, and so on. Isms fall into the bag of Sentimentality because they refer to Social effects or (dis)agreements and the like. We can talk about Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Shamanism, "Satanism", Anglicanism, Catholicism, Communism, Capitalism, so why on earth not Christianism?
I hope that makes enough sense to clarify your sideways glance! Kind Regards.
As indeed should be "Christianism"

I like two of your last three words there. Resonant!
"Christianism" it is, then.
Grateful Thanks.
