I think I see what you're trying to say, but there is a bit of term confusion in your argument.
Just using the linguistics of the word, "Atheists" are definitively people who do not believe in a theos, ie: a g/God. It would be nonsensical to call a polytheist or monotheist an atheist.
> When you truly understand that your arguments against those religions go against Christianity too...
Christianity is relatively unique[1] in the sense that it claims exclusivity to salvation through Jesus Christ. As it relates to your argument, this tenant allows Christians to make claims to spiritual supremacy. Interreligious comparisons are moot at that point.
[1] Conditioning that statement here, I can't keep up with all the world's religions
