How does Buddhism view superstition?

In real life, the following two situations often occur:

One is to mistake normal religious activities for superstitious activities, and from the standpoint of opposing superstitious activities, prohibit, boycott or crack down on normal religious activities, thus interfering with and infringing on citizens' freedom of religious belief;

The other is to mistake superstitious activities for normal religious activities and think that stopping superstitious activities will interfere with and infringe on citizens' freedom of religious belief. Both of these understandings are incorrect, because religion is strictly different from superstition that people usually say is not within the scope of religion.

First, religion generally has a long history, and there are leaders who founded this religion and are worshipped by believers; Religion has its own written classics, systematic teachings and standardized religious ceremonies, and has a fixed place for religious activities. Superstition is generally the lottery, divination, fortune telling, geomantic omen, exorcism, jumping and other activities that wizards, fortune tellers and fortune tellers engage in. It has no leader, no written classics, no systematic teachings and standardized ceremonies, and no fixed place. It is a primitive and low-level witchcraft activity engaged by immortals, witches and Mr. Feng Shui. Because of the weather, location and people.

Second, all religions have religious groups and organizations composed of believers, presided over by religious staff, with strict disciplines and canons, and all religions also run various forms of religious colleges and universities. There is no strict organizational system for superstitious activities, and there are no groups and organizations recognized by the government; There is no strict discipline and teaching order for people who are engaged in superstitious occupations; It is even more impossible to start an institution; Superstition practitioners have no fixed place to live, showing a state of single scattered and guerrilla activities.

Third, religion is a world outlook with a set of systematic doctrines, doctrines and philosophical theories; Religion is a social, historical and cultural phenomenon, which has a profound influence on social sciences such as philosophy, literature and art, natural sciences such as medicine, astronomy and architecture, and people's moral concepts. Superstition is neither a systematic worldview nor a systematic philosophical theory. It violates social science, natural science and people's moral concepts, and is an ideology that lags behind the times.

Fourthly, there are many religions in China, such as Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christianity. Religious activities such as "worshipping Buddha, chanting scriptures, burning incense, worshiping, praying, preaching, mass, baptism, fasting, religious festivals, dying mourning and mourning" are protected by religious organizations and believers. Any superstitious activity (selected works of religious work in the new period, page 63) is an act that is opposed, prohibited and banned by national laws and policies, and is not protected by national laws and policies.
