 people who think superstitions have disappeared, are not really paying attention. superstitions are everywhere if you see clearly. modern midwit sciencetards have just started ignoring the superstitions they have by regarding those reactions as accepted. when you are in a cult you can't see it. the modern manner in which people react is just as superstitious as Ancient people. when someone is rational, logical or empircal they are  being superstitious in the sense that there is a deeper order or ultimate elegant truth that can be perceived.
