How to use superstition in a sentence?
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men...the master of superstition is the people and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reverse order.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Immanuel Kant, CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON:
Criticism alone can sever the root of materialism, fatalism, atheism, free-thinking, fanaticism, and superstition, which can be injurious universally; as well as of idealism and skepticism, which are dangerous chiefly to the Schools, and hardly allow of being handed on to the public.
Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire:
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother.
Count Hermann Keyserling once said truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts.
