Difference between superstition belief and scientific explanation?

AnswerSome say that all religions are superstition, with the possible exception of philosophical Buddhism or philosophical Daoism. But not all superstitions are religions.

For a superstition to be a religion, it must involve a consistent belief in one or more gods or controlling spirits, and usually involves worship of some god or spirit. So superstitious belief in ghosts, or in the luck that comes from certain numbers or from walking under ladders, does not constitute religion.
