"Superstition" is, by definition, irrational. Christianity might be true or not true, but there is obviously a body of interesting evidence in support of it.
To characterize it as irrational is not fair-minded. I might suggest Antony Flew's earlier works, as opposed to those of Richard Dawkins. Flew was effective in arguing against Christianity because Flew responded to an adult version of Christianity, as opposed to attacking a version suitable for 6-year-olds.
If you're going to argue against a proposition, it is obviously your obligation to respond to (not sneer at) the strongest possible version of it.

When you say "many, MANY people believe Christianity to be a superstition" you are leaving an invalid impression. Only about 6% of Americans fit this description.
About 80% of Americans believe in the *resurrected* Christ. A much larger fraction respect Christ.
I suppose "many" people, in an absolute sense, believe that the moon landing was staged. A 6% demographic for it would not be impressive.
