Superstition

I have often wondered why some people are superstitious. The reason could be that they are afraid that something bad might happen and they therefore feel the need to put their trust into something magic that they believe might "save" them. Another reason could be that they are desperate about a situation in their life and, similarly, they put their trust into something magic that might help them to solve it. I can't also help wondering if this deep belief isn't something similar to the religious faith, where the idea of "magic" replaces the idea of "spiritual".
