hmm... almost like society doesn't view everything in the dichotomy that you provided.

We haven't classified religious belief as a mental illness. Yet.

>If society looks down on unreasonable people
It doesn't.

>If society looks down on unreasonable people
How did you arrive at these unreasonable conclusion

But if said society is unreasonable in the first place it ultimately doesn't matter.

Society only looks down upon superstition that isn't encased in the logic of the society itself. The logic of the society isn't always that true, ergo people try to formulate alternatives to it. Superstition is just attempts to reason in ways not yet codified by society or ways that the current logic of society can't quite understand. People are drawn to superstition because it presents itself as a better way to operate in society than what the current societal logic has to offer or it gives a more satisfying explanation that what the consensus is.

Science also isn't reason. It's just a way to model the world that makes sense with the given data. platonic forms don't exist, we just do the best we can with what we know.
