Most of them when asked won't admit it or even know that many of the things they do would be considered superstition.
I know a woman who is certain that superstition is all "foolishness for the uninformed" and she would "never indulge in such silliness", and yet, if she spills salt she tosses a pinch over her shoulder, reads her horoscope everyday, and always has her children "make a wish" on their birthday candles.

Many people believe in and practice superstitions as a way to exert control over uncertain situations and to cope with anxiety about the unknown. Superstitions often provide a sense of comfort and security, offering rituals or beliefs that can feel empowering.

Lastly, cognitive biases, such as the tendency to link unrelated events, can strengthen the belief in superstitions.

Superstitions have been with humankind since we first became self aware. Many of the first superstitions came from a general lack of knowledge about simple cause and effect, natural cycles, and the way nature worked. As a larger body of knowledge became available, superstitions became entrenched in the spiritual paths of humankind. Even today, superstitions tend to be relegated to the list of curiosities of another group of people. We rarely think of our own superstitions as unfounded or silly, but we do think that way of the superstitions of others.
