Is that a better definition?

No it is not. You are proposing examples, not providing a definition.

No, it's a non-scientific condemnation of random things.

My examples reflect the official definitions provided here

a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief.

I would let the definition speak for itself. Indeed the intent to define religion as superstition, as it seems you are trying to do, is questionable since often those adhering to a particular religion will consider the belief to be justified. But superstition requires lack of justification.

You may hold that there is no justification, in which case you would go on to judge it as superstition.

Whichever way it goes, I still don't see how it prevents one from entering into science.
