I'm inclined to agree with you, but I am a bit puzzled by how differently webster's editors appear to view the two.
Faith:
1 a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty b (1) : fidelity to one's promises (2) : sincerity of intentions
2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust
3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs <the Protestant faith>
Superstition:
1 a : a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation b : an irrational abject attitude of mind toward the supernatural, nature, or God resulting from superstition
2 : a notion maintained despite evidence to the contrary
So tell me, are radical Islamic jihadi's faithful or superstitious? What about radical Christian fundamentalists?
I think they do in fact 'mean' different things but two people can look upon the same thing and one conclude it's faith and the other that it's superstition. To me, believing you have several dozen virgins waiting for you in the afterlife if you blow yourself and others to tiny bits qualifies as superstition.
