Its a little dismissive to cast them as being "dumb". Misguided, yes. Disingenuous, certainly. Timid even (in that it takes courage to question cherished beliefs). But i wouldn't say dumb.
We are ALL prone to superstitious thinking, a byproduct of an evolved pschology. Its a matter of raising ourselves up and away from base thought processes. For most people its much easier, safer, and convenient to not ask difficult questions of oneself, of family, and of community.
