There's a huge relationship. When early man could not explain natural phenomenon, he ascribed it to supernatural powers. Gods. There was a god for the sun, one for lightning, one for rain, one for the harvest, etc. Superstition came into it when they would start to believe that killing an animal in a certain way, at a certain time and place, would result in them getting what they need, like more or less rain.
Even now, things like kissing a cross, or counting beads, or killing a chicken on an alter to ward off evil spirits, they're all learned superstitious behavior.

I don't think so! Superstition leans more on magic! Religion is belief in the Most High, which is God!

Most religions ar pure superstition, but not Christianty.
How to be Saved from Your Sins!
The Holy Bible in Hebrews 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please him (God); for he that cometh to God must believe (have faith) that he (God) is, and that he (God) is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (God).” Parentheses mine!
The only way you can be saved from your sins and go to heaven when you die is to, by faith, acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only true and living God (Romans 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus {that Jesus is Lord} and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believed unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”). You must acknowledge the fact that the blood Jesus Christ shed for you at Calvary is the only thing that can forgive, remove and cleanse you from all you sins. You must, by faith, acknowledge you are a sinner (Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” and Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”) needing forgiveness of all your sins and turn from all your sins to live for Jesus Christ the rest of your life. You must, by faith, ask Jesus Christ to forgive all your sins and invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life to live there forever. (John l :12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to come sons {children} of God, even to them that believe on his name.” You must, by faith, give your heart and life to Jesus Christ to live for Him day by day. You must then, by faith, seek to please Him, love, honor and obey Him as best you know how. All of this is what is meant when the Lord Jesus Christ said: “Jesus answered, and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto, Except a man be born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God (go to heaven).” You were born physically into your earthly family. To go to heaven you must be born again spiritually into your heavenly family, God's spiritual family. You must learn to read The Holy Bible to learn how to live for Him. I pray you will do this today without delay. YOU CAN TALK TO JESUS CHRIST JUST LIKE YOU WERE TALKING TO ANYONE ELSE. HE IS A PERSON JUST LIKE YOU, EXCEPT, OF COURSE, HE IS HOLY AND SINLESS.
