well, some people believe in superstition because they actually believe it or they heard from a friend/family. And others don't believe in superstition things because they might be religious or just don't think it's true.

This is one unsolved meaning. There are two: some people think when your nose is tingling that someone is thinking about you and some people think that if your nose is tingling you are going to kiss a fool. Either one.
For centuries people have turned to superstition to explain the things they didn't understand or have the science to know about. Superstition is still around and just because we have science today doesn't mean it isn't.

The brain looks for a means to explain what it doesn't know.

The superstition of "good luck".
A superstition is more of a myth that many people are thought to believe but may not be true. A faith is a belief that a number of people believe that is true
My grandma believed the old superstition that putting up an umbrella inside the house is bad luck. The belief that eating bread crusts leads to curly hair is a silly superstition. She believes that Friday the thirteenth brings bad luck, but I think it's a ridiculous superstition.
The word superstition is normally a noun. For instance, in the sentence "Molly has a superstition about black cats," the word is a noun. You could also say "Molly has a superstitious fear of black cats," where "superstitious" is an adjective describing the word fear. The only case I can think of where superstition would be an adjective would be something where you were talking about the Superstition Mountains in Arizona.
