So what do you propose we do, if not fight superstition with education? Convert them all to a religion that you find more pleasant? I think I would file that under "not palatable", to put it mildly. Fighting superstition by providing education is the only solution that we can embrace.
> what about instances where superstition does not cause violence?
What about it? Why should we clinge to it just because it can be benign? I cannot mourn the loss of benign superstition killed by education.
> Or instances (like lynchings) where mob violence is not triggered by superstition.
We shouldn't fight superstition because doing so is not a silver bullet for all the worlds problems?
