Let me try...
A superstition is a belief that an action, object, or circumstance can affect a situation even if they are in no way related. For example: a black cat crossing the road in front of you, walking under ladders, or throwing salt over your shoulder. Walking on cracks.
Your 'luck' is supposed to be affected by these events.
Confusing faith with superstition shows your lack of understanding of the difference between the two, which supports what I'm saying... that lack of understanding makes you more susceptible.
Of course calling faith superstition is pretty weak stone throwing. We're attacking the lowest common denominator.
Special pleading.
