Superstition is by definition "a belief or notion, not based on knowledge or reason." Religion fits that perfectly. So yes because you are religious you are superstitious.

And I found it really funny that you were exclaiming how wonderful science is, yet you don't believe in evolution.

While it is being narrow minded to stereotype people, it is difficult to imagine a religious person supporting science considering how science is completely destroying just about every single religion by use of facts and experiments to combat the crap that religion makes up.

Not all religion fits the definition then. Take Christianity, the following of jesus christ,who claims to be the son of God, who was an actual man killed for daring to call himself a king in a land that already had a king after speaking out against the government and gaining a huge following. (sounds a bit like early day John Lennon) Or the Buddist religion based on the teachings of the supreme buddah. I think that you will find that most of the respected religions are based more on fact than superstition but do use superstition as a way of control. Alot of the stories that are told in the bible are written similar to the way aboriginals write dreamtime stories. The stories aren't actually what happened but is a way of getting a person to understand another way of thinking about something. And I am sure any priest would definitely argue the fact that he might be ignorant after all the years of study and a lifes devotion to his church. Alot of these priests also believe in science and study their churches teachings through science also. Also alot of scientists who were known athiests have become strong christians after their findings, as have church men become athiests through their findings. And I dont think you can quite put the miracles out there as magic, the supernatural or chance. And it certainly isnt a practice resulting from ignorance or fear of the unknown, for as you would know, church teachings, bible studies, books, the bible, and those annoying door knockers will do anything to inform you on anything you want explained

I am sure any priest or teacher of any of the major religion, after their extensive studies, pilgrimages, and life long devotion would argue that they are ignorant men, most being extremely well learned in alot of things other than just religion. Nor do they try to keep their followers ignorant but will push their knowledge on you any chance they get. There is no talk of Magic as such in buddism, christianity or hinduism, and I dont think you could rate miracles, healings or visions as MAGIC or Chance or a false conception, nor are they supernatural. I dont think a god was forced on a people using superstion, but was offered to an already highly superstitious people as an allternative. And alot of scientists who looked to disclaim the bibles teachings have been converted by their findings, as have some religious men been turned away from the church based on their scientific findings. That is why it is still a debateable arguement.
