I would also expect that a significant % of xtians also believes that god intervenes materially everyday all over the world in answer to prayer as well.
If an xtian thinks it is irrational to dismiss a god purely on material grounds, then you have to say its irrational to dismiss any invention of the human mind, whatever that maybe (even though we do that unthinkingly every single day). But once again materialism is not relevant to the meaninglessness of the god concept, its a red herring.
