Grishka. I don't see millions of members of religions marching on their gilded palaces shouting "Not in my name! "

You bet they did and do, many millions. Normally they reluctantly join other denominations or found new ones, despite the main point of religion being to stick together and to its history. Others curse religion altogether and feel bad about it.

My point was also historical. The purpose of superstition as a concept is to control.

Absolutely wrong, historically and psychologically. Yesterday the BBC told us about a new crypto-satanist cult of "Santa Muerte" in Mexico, created by Catholics without help from anybody in power, and of course heavily fought by the Catholic clergy. The drug cartels try to gain control over it - ex post facto.
