superstitious

Having or showing a belief in supernatural causality, such as the idea that certain actions or objects can bring good or bad luck. / Based on or relating to beliefs that are not based on reason or scientific knowledge.
Adjective
comp: more superstitioussup: most superstitious

This term describes a psychological state of apprehension or hope tied to irrational correlations. It often carries a slightly dismissive or critical connotation, implying a lack of logical reasoning or a surrender to fear and folklore. While it can describe a personal trait, it also categorizes cultural practices that defy scientific explanation.

In social contexts, the word is frequently used to describe specific behavioral quirks, such as avoiding certain numbers or carrying charms. It differs from religious faith in that it typically focuses on the immediate avoidance of bad luck or the pursuit of a specific advantage rather than a structured theological system.
