Religion Vs Superstition

Most of my friends believe that religion is good, a plus, a positive, helpful; and that superstition is bad, harmful, sometimes evil. But what is the difference between the two? Is it the alleged presence of a deity? Is it the attempt to influence the future? Is it the degree of complexity of belief? Is it the number of people you are able to persuade to agree with you? Or is it just that "my"beliefs are religion but "yours" are superstition?
