I'm glad you brought that up. I have never been superstitious but just the other day I realized that everyone I have ever know (all atheists) were superstitious. I thought that was odd.

That reminds me of the portion of Maher's movie where he talked about opinions and how they shouldn't be law. I see dogma as an arrogant assertion of opinion, but the thing that bothers me even more is propaganda.
