Anti-superstition is superstition still.

No. That's like saying that anti-atheism is atheism still.

Anti-atheism is theism.

Atheism is a belief system about "how we got here". It simply doesn't
require any sort of supernatural being to achieve it. It is still a
belief system regarding the path to Now. One stick, two ends. One end
theism, one end atheism. Still a whole stick.

"Anti-" relies on the thing it is negating for definition. So atheism
and "anti-atheism" is defined by theism.

Just like you cannot fight power with power (because you make your
opponent stronger), you cannot fight superstition with
"anti-superstition", nor theism with atheism. If you your tools are
forged with God and anti-God ends, they will not serve *your* ends
(unless you want to keep playing the God game).

Facts are not anti-superstition.
