Superstition - like alcohol - is perfectly harmless if it's enjoyed in moderation and in controlled settings. Just don't drive when you've been drinking, and don't pray when you should be voting.
(The flip side, however, is that choosing to abstain from superstition is no more morally culpable than choosing to abstain from indulging in alcoholic intoxication - a point that certain public figures should be expected to keep in mind.)
