Yes.
Here's Christianity in a nutshell:
The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Now where in there is the NON-supernatural stuff?
This is really getting annoying. The old AB I could check to see whether or not I commented or gave an answer with the old +/- scoring. Here it's not until after I've answered, that I discover that I've done so before.

No not exactly. As far as I'm aware no one has ever been tortured to death over organized superstitions.

Yes if the person simply follows the religion 'blindly'.

Is there any other way to follow a religion?
by ConservativelyLiberal on December 8th, 2009
Good point but I guess most religious person follows based on faith.
by Chasse Neige on December 8th, 2009
What is faith but a belief in something without evidence? If I believed that cat's could fly you'd call me an idiot, no?
