IMO, even the followers of a religion aren't that far behind. Probably in about the same class as those not wanting to step on cracks in the road, not walk under a ladder, etc etc. All a bunch of superstition.

Superstitions arise from weakness and fear of unknown and unexpected.......kinda hard to prevent in humans, I have seen many so called highly educated humans indulging in superstitions.
