I know, right? What is that doing on the religion section?
In the following link is a small study that was done in Italy with 67 interviews mostly with people from Turin. For myself, the conversion of tragedy into numbers, ex-ante magic” and ex-post magic and the distance that was placed between an individual and superstition or an individual and gambling is fascinating.

The study was based on the work of a man named Alan Dundee .
