Why were superstitions created?

Well think about it. If you have a religion then in that case you think that it is the true religion, or so i hope. They were not superstitions to them they just didn't know any better. Unless it was the inventor of the religion, who would be conscious of the fact that the religion would be false and superstitious. But the people who were his followers were moved by his false faith and by the false promise of power under this God.
