Question

Atheist, so you absolutely have no superstitions?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what superstition has to do directly with atheism

Answer 2

I have none...but my grandfather (born in 1890) had a number of them.  Examples:  Never throw a hat on a bed.  Never open an umbrella in the house.

Answer 3

Not only no, but h**l no. Anything else you wanna know that's less difficult to answer?

Answer 4

When you think an atheist. From here will examine where the real God

Answer 5

Not that superstitions have anything to do with atheism, but no, I do not believe in superstitious behavior.

Edit:

I do however believe that you should add an "s" to the end of most words that are plural like "atheists".

Answer 6

Nope  

Answer 7

None I actually believe in.  My mom's always afraid of jinxing herself, so I still knock on wood occasionally.  It's habit; I think it's dumb, but I've never really worked to break the habit.  It's just one of those dumb things you pick up from your parents.

Answer 8

i didn't know religion was considered a superstition.

Answer 9

Sadly I still have a couple of irrational ones I'm working on dumping. And there are other atheists who believe in a lot of supernatural things y'know; being atheist just means you don't believe in any deity or deities.

Answer 10

It is a far cry from touching a rabbit's foot to believing that an evil fairy will send people to everlasting h**l.

Answer 11

Not as much as Christians do... I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT...!!!

Answer 12

Does this question have a point?

Peace.

Answer 13

Superstition has nothing to do with atheism.

Atheism is a lack of belief in the existence of gods. That's it. Nothing more or less is implied.

Answer 14

No. I don't believe in supernatural occurrences.

Answer 15

I don't.

Answer 16

If by superstition you mean belief in supernatural occurrences, then the answer is no I don't.

If by superstition you mean false causal relationship born from post hoc reasoning, then I probably do.  However, I do away with them as I encounter them.  It's a work in progress.

Answer 17

i personally don't, but many do, the lack of a god doesn't mean we cannot be superstitious..

Answer 18

Atheists superstition is that the universe exists by its own.

Answer 19

none I'm aware of...

Answer 20

To my knowledge, yes that is correct.

Answer 21

No... no superstitions.

Superstitions, like don't walk under a ladder, well... that's just a safety issue.  Black cats running in front of you mean nothing.  And the funniest one of all... a chimney sweeps coat button will not bring you good luck... lol

Answer 22

I have some senseless habits, but since I don't believe that the universe will smite me for breaking them, yeah, no superstitions.

Answer 23

Life is full of superstitions regardless of faith. I still knock on wood

Answer 24

Unintentional ones, like saying "bless you" after someone sneezes.  Things like that.

Answer 25

Which atheist?

I don't, but I'm sure some do.

Answer 26

I give ladders a wide berth, but I consider that to be prudent, not superstitious.

There tend to be things at the tops of ladders ( buckets of paint, packs of roofing shingles, hammers, people) that I do NOT want falling on my head.

That could be bad luck to the point of being fatal!

Answer 27

I lost them..

Answer 28

What like walking under a ladder and cats crossing my path, nope.

Answer 29

Pretty much none, no. I don't have any pertaining to the one sport that I watch, I have none in my personal life. So, the answer is no.

A superstitious life is a life with time wasted for nothing.
