Is believing in superstitions a mental disorder?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">

dictionary.com "superstition (noun) : an irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear"

the word superstition is a label of dogmatism. whose right is it to determine which belief is irrational?

is "superstitions" the correct word for this thread's question??????????

Superstition (dictionary) is also an irrational fear of the unknown or mysterious; belif that is not based on fact.

Irrational means illogical, senseless, lacking reason, absurd. Wouldn't one be designated as having a mental disorder if one is considered irrational?
