C.S. Lewis or not, i've always seen the "X" as a form of taking Christ out and inserting anything. A pet peeve of mine is "Xmas"....
To close to removing Christ from CHRISTmas.... I love writing the name of my Lord and His position. He's Jesus, The Messiah, the CHRIST, and the Son of God. As appropriate as an "X" might be, I will appear to never slight my Lord by using anything other than a term that is Biblically appropriat for Him... i.e. Lord, Savior, Jesus, Christ, Messiah....

Theoretically, yes, but "Xtian" is much easier to read, without which the abbreviation is pointless, and "Xtian" is, for example, the spelling preferred by C. S.
