Superstition is an innate human instinct that has served our species
well during the millennia. You will not be able to eradicate it any more
than you can eradicate love, humor or music. Since it is an instinct, it
has nothing to do with how smart or educated you are. With education
(including organized religion), you may be able to bridle it.

You may not get superstition, but similarly there are people who can't
get love, humor, music, art, friends, kids, sports, pity, curiosity,
ambition, fashion etc.
