How to treat religion and feudal superstition differently

Feudal superstition comes from the people and involves people's habits, legends, ideals and wishes. The emergence of religion has its history, founder and doctrine, both historical roots, reasons and theoretical basis. Religion has a canon, that is, to follow and restrain its behavior and persuade people to be good; There is also an order, which is organized.

Religion, whether Buddhism, Catholicism, Christianity, Islam or Taoism, can play a very good role in purifying people's hearts.

Second, the content is different.

What is superstition? Superstition is to promote theocracy, rely on ghosts and gods to possess, and rely on immortals to collect money. Specifically, belief in ghosts and gods, divination, revelation and prophecy often bring certain theocracy. Originally, people needed to take medicine when they were sick. Buddhists say that medicine can cure diseases, but superstition often makes people stop taking medicine, causing great harm to people. Physiognomy, fortune-telling, prophesying gobbledygook, dancing with God, etc. all belong to superstition, which makes people unable to get rid of ghosts and gods and fate.

Religion is mainly to persuade the good and stop the evil, including teaching history, doctrine, canon and cult. Its function is to persuade people to stop evil and good, which is conducive to social stability. Superstition is fooling people with theocracy and all kinds of unknowable things, profiting from it and harming others and themselves. Therefore, religion and superstition are very different and cannot be confused.
