No, I believe that there is Superstition. Since there obviously is...I don't believe that those beliefs are right though.
I am superstitious out of habit. I don't really think that walking under a ladder, or stepping on a crack is bad at all, and the black cat I once had caused no ill effects. Of course I am open to the chance it might, but I haven't seen any proof, so I say - unlikely.
But then I do things that make me look superstitious out of habit, like still avoiding the underside of the ladder, simply out of habit.
That, and I have a rabbits foot I carry that I bought from an old gypsy woman who ran a gift shop, and I like knocking on wood, because it sounds nice.

He's saying that the thread title is poorly phrased, as there is such a thing as superstition: no belief is required.
He does not believe that superstitions are of any merit.
All of which he did just say, as clearly as the rephrasing.
