Why were personal unions christian? what prevented other religions from using personal unions?

Can you clarify your question? Do you mean like the situation where England and Scotland had the same king but were distinct states?

I don't think this arrangement is particularly a "Christian" thing, it was a feature of European politics in the Middle Ages and Modern Period, but I don't think everything European is necessarily distinctly Christian, it certainly wasn't a feature of Christian polities in Late Antiquity or the pre-Crusades Middle East or Africa.
