To me, any beliefs about magic such as full moons, black cats, ESP, magic spells, or prayer are all the same: a bunch of silly nonsense that's not based in any way on scientific observation and has no basis in reality.

Education will help you distinguish between superstition and religion. They aren't the same thing

Agreed, Religion is superstition with worshipers, they aren't technically the same thing.

Generally people don't kill people for the sake of superstition either, whereas there have been who knows how many murders in the name of some sort of diety.

Don't forget about shit like the Witch trials...

Yes, many do, although more who might otherwise not can be convinced if deity is added to the mix

WHS ^^

It would seem superstition is strengthened when you add a deity.
