Transubstantiation is one of my favorites.

"Born again" is by definition a superstition or a counter.

here's one of my faves...ask a Christian if they believe in re-incarnation. Nearly all will tell you NO ( many heatedly so) ask them to describe re-incarnation, just what they know about it off the top of their head--most will say it's past lives or whatever--then I say to them "where was Christ before He was born to Mary?" (In Heaven) Where was Christ after he was born? (On Earth) Where did Christ go after He died? (To Heaven) What happened three days later? ( He arose on EARTH) What happened after that? ( He rose to Heaven again) Sounds to me like he had 3 lives in Heaven and 2 lives on Earth....but if he wasn't re-incarnated then how can you know it was Christ?

Catholics use candles to help dead loved ones not get stuck in pergatory, this is a form of magic. The wishing right before you blow out the candles on a birthday cake, anytime you put your physical thought into something and wish, its magic. Wishing upon a star, wishing on a fallen star, wishing when breaking the "wishbone" in a turkey, easter itself is a pagan holiday and so is Christmas. They were incorporated to get pagans to accept Christianity more easily. The Easter bunny is actually a pagan god that was worshipped to. Throwing salt over your shoulder when you spill some, knocking on wood, jinxing. There are so many things people dont realize is actually magic or a superstition that is against their religion.

A couple superstitions could be considered very basic spells, like knocking on wood, tossing spilled salt over one's shoulder, or trying not to "jinx" a good thing by talking about how good it is.
However, the vast majority of superstitions are simply superstitions, many having to do with luck. There are lucky numbers (7), unlucky numbers (13, Friday the 13th), actions which bring bad luck (black cat crosses your path, walking under a ladder, breaking a mirror...).

Born again is what it means.
But the old saying of not to walk over the tombs, is In the Magika Black as a recommendation because that is where most spells, float to stop graverobbers.

They say drooping a spoon on the floor means a guest will visit you, is that a spell?
What about....
Whistling at night to summon ghosts?

You'd think they'd start to realize it after a while, yes...
