superstition

Dictionary of Biblical Words:

is the belief of what is supposed to be supernatural, but which is untrue and unreal. It is thus contrasted with Faith which is the belief in what is supernatural, but is real and is true. To be this of course it must be found in the word of God, which is the sole authority in matters supernatural.
