1. The sources are different.
Feudal superstition comes from the folk, is a folk habit, involves folk legends, folk ideals, and folk wishes. It is different from religion. Religion has a history, a leader, and historical roots. , there are teachings and there is truth to be said. There are religious rules, which are to follow and restrict behavior. Most of them are to encourage people to do good. In addition, there are religious groups, which are organized. Historically speaking, religion and politics are complementary to each other. Influencing the people with spirituality has played a certain good role in assisting the implementation of politics. Whether it is Buddhism, Catholicism, Christianity, Islam, or Taoism, it all works.
2. The content is different.
What is superstition? That is to say, belief in ghosts and gods, divination, prophecies, and prophetic books, etc. This often involves a certain degree of theocratic thinking, and even relies on gods to make money. Originally, people need to take medicine when they are sick. According to Buddhism, if there is medicine to cure the disease, people often do not take the medicine, which leads to superstition and causes people to suffer a lot of harm. Therefore, there is a huge difference between religion and superstition and cannot be confused. Fortune-telling, prophecies from heavenly books, dancing to gods and supporting quills, etc., are all superstitions, which prevent people from getting rid of themselves among ghosts, gods and destiny. From this point of view, it is not a religion.
Religion is mainly about encouraging good and stopping evil, while superstition is about promoting divine power, using ghosts and gods to possess people, and using gods to make money. Unlike religion, it has a religious history (that is, history), doctrines, canons, religious groups, and certain organizations. Moreover, the role of religion is to persuade people to stop evil and do good, which has certain benefits for the stability of society. Superstition is to use divine power and all kinds of unknown things to fool people, profit from it, and cause harm to people. This is very different from religion.
3. Relationship with philosophy
Religion is related to philosophy, but superstition has nothing to do with philosophy. There is no reason to be superstitious, and religions can say that they make the decision themselves. Of course, there are some theistic ones among them, but this direction is still very good. Superstition means that one cannot make the decision at all. It is endowed with divine power, and superstitious belief in divine power means that one cannot be the master at all. Myself, this is a huge difference. Generally speaking, superstition is not supported by the government. China currently promotes and promotes the five major religions, but superstition must be banned.
4. Differences from cults
But superstition is not a cult. Cults completely rely on God and promote God to fool people. The theory of God is Brahman in India. Buddhism worships Brahma and rules with divine power, and is regarded as a heretic by Buddhism. China's past "####gong" claimed that one is a god, the master, and can control everything. This is very absurd, leads people to evil, and is harmful to people. This harm is greater than superstition, so there is a difference between religion, superstition, and cults. You can read more relevant information for reference, the general difference is like this.
