No difference. They are both beliefs without evidence or contrary to evidence. The motto, in both cases, "Don't confuse me with the facts." Maybe they are both based on anxiety, too. Some people will take anything that they think will soothe them!

Good question
Faith is a broader term and is a matter of belief at heart, without the need for proof.
Supersition however is defined as a set of practices that have no basis and no logic behind it.
Supersition is easily recognizable whereas faith is not.
Supersition is rooted in culture irrespective of religion. Made up very easily, gets a lot of hype for a good amount of time and then disappears or changes form.
Faith perseveres, and stands by the trial of centuries without change.

Superstition is believing in some sort of magic taht takes place because of an action or ritual, usually leading to good or bad luck!
Black cat crosses your path !!!!!
Walking under a ladder!
Opening an umbrella inside!
There is absolutely no comparison to this and Having true faith in GOD!

Superstition is based in fear.
Fear is the exact opposite of faith.

Superstition has nothing to do with faith. Faith is belief in something unseen, and not needing proof of it in order to believe. You just KNOW it exists, it's innate. Superstition is a belief that is accepted blindly. I don't see that these are the same in reference to faith in God.

Superstition: An irrational thought -- i.e., one held regardless of information to the different -- in many situations regarding supernatural forces and linked with rituals. regardless of information to the different: there's no information that God would not exist. technological awareness won't be able to disprove the Bible. faith: An allegiance to accountability or man or woman. Loyalty b (a million) : constancy to one's can provide (2) : sincerity of intentions 2 thoroughly diverse words with 2 thoroughly diverse meanings, there's no assessment.

"So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Romans 10:17
"Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb. 11:1 (and the whole 11th chapter)
"O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man to direct his steps." Jer. 10:23 (SUPERSTITION)

Faith is when you have enough trust built up to trust someone (i.e. God) on his word. In that sense, faith is backed by reason.
Superstition, however, is based on foolish conceptions that are neither based in history or logic.

Your faith is my superstition and vice versa.
