I dunno if superstiiton and/or faith is the problem, but rather the need to control other people on the basis of superstition or faith is the problem, particularly when choosing a leader or leglislating by referendum. Some people who seem to think and behave as if we do not live in a diverse plurality rooted in a very basic concept of individual liberty correspondingly chose to vote this way as well.
