Is religion superstition? Is Buddhism scientific?

Religion, Zong means that there is a return to the clan, there is a source, there is inheritance, which is the meaning of Zong, teaching means education, is enlightened, is to make it know reason. In other words, the original meaning of religion is to have the transmission of sanity and education.

However, the first and foremost condition for indoctrination is faith and trust. If one does not believe in it, even the most correct education is useless, just as a student who does not believe in his teacher will not listen to him, and the teacher's reasoning, even if it is correct, will not be of any benefit to the student.

And what is superstition, superstition, confusion, that is, can not rationally recognize the truth is called superstition, superstition is not rational as a prerequisite for the belief, so religion and superstition is not necessarily related to superstition, superstition lies in the people, not in the teachings.

Buddhism has a scientific side, a philosophical side, and a cultural side. The reason for saying that Buddhism has a scientific side is that Buddhism takes reason and empirical evidence as the premise, and takes emotion as the starting point, but never replaces rational thinking with emotion, and the teachings of Buddhism have principles, methods, indicators, verification, and so on, which is very much in the spirit of science.
