Well it's not necessarily superstition and hearsay. Religion is all based on faith. There are many religions that use science and mathematics to support their beliefs but it is still based on faith. The hardcore, tunnel-visioned, orthodox religions ( Christianity ) really deter people from taking this section seriously because they browbeat all of the people that disagree with them. I guarantee you there will be plenty of people quoting the Bible to you about your question.

Paul Harvey says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue
somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I
don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a
lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory
Of evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be
endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer
Before a football game.
So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there
Reading the entire book of Acts. They're just ta lking to a
God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the
Players on the field and the fans going home from the game.
But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.
Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country
Founded on Christian principles. According to our very
own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others
Better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody
Chanting Hare Krishna?
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem,
I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China,
I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended.
It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome .
But what about the atheists? is another argument.
What about them?
Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to
pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If
that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear
plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.
Call your lawyer!
Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or
two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
I don't think a short prayer at a football game is
going to shake the world's foundations.
Christians ar e just sick and tired of turning the other
cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our
parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
eating; to pray before we go to sleep.
Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a
handful of people and their lawyers are telling us
to cease praying.
God, help us.
And if that last sentence offends you,
well .. just sue me.

You already have a Mythology and Folklore, I don't see how Religion and Spirituality is much different.

I think you are one who does allot of watching and talking but not living the talk and the walk.
