The social harm of superstition:

If superstition is not broken, it will be difficult for society to develop healthily. In society or among the people, some people flaunt "fortune telling" and introduce computer fortune telling and psychic prediction. And use modern sound, light, electricity and other equipment to create all kinds of mysterious effects to deceive and fool the masses.

All this is because the rapid development of science and technology has a growing impact on human society, and people who engage in superstition and pseudoscience raise the banner of "science" and betray their traitors. Cheat money by hook or by crook. There are also some places that develop tourism and folk culture and build various haunted houses, Buddhist temples and ancestral temples.

Many farmers lack a correct understanding of religion because of their low educational level. They burn incense in every temple and worship the gods and buddhas. In some rural areas, feudal superstitious activities are becoming more and more serious, which seriously affects people's thoughts and behaviors.
