Most people have or like fantasies. The popularity of fictional movies, books and TV series seems to attest to that. In the case of TV series, there can be quite the devoted audiences. On some levels, some people's supernatural believes are no more dangerous than the aforementioned types of fictions. That's when people do not base too much of their real lives on what characters in the fictions tell them or suggest to do. I do not find that level of supernaturalism as objectionable. But religions, being primitive supernatural belief systems, get more dangerous as people devote too much of their reality to them and makes decisions and judgements based on the fictitious characters.
By the way, I consider newer religions such as Scientology to also be primitive supernatural belief systems because they are basically branches off the same primitive mentalities and persuasions.
