The Lottery-Larsen
I also am not a religious person. However, I am very superstitious. For example, you won't ever find me spilling salt. However if I do, you can be certain that some salt is going to be thrown over my left shoulder. I wonder why I am like this, but honestly I don't know. Maybe it's because my parents are like this. So in a sense maybe me being superstitious is kind of like a religion. Religious views such as christianity are passed down in famalies, so why not superstitious views? I don't want my life to be unlucky, so that is why I take the necessary steps to avoid envoking bad luck. After all, what harm could come of trying to avoid bad luck?

I think that superstition is actually a lot like religion. I'm a religious person, and I feel like many people only do certain things to keep the "bad things" away. And both are passed down from generation to generation. Despite that, I think that in religion, doing something just to do it can be harmful. I guess it depends on how serious you take your faith. But, if you believe seriously in superstition, its your own type of faith.
