Résumé
Il existe peu de données expérimentales faisant le lien entre les croyances religieuses, superstitieuses et de type délirant, malgré que ces croyances aient un point commun : le fait qu’elles reposent sur peu ou pas de preuves. Ceci suggère qu’elles pourraient partager un mécanisme cognitif commun et donc être observées chez les mêmes individus. Pour tester cette dernière hypothèse, nous avons fait remplir des questionnaires d’idées de type délirant, de religiosité, et de superstition à 95 participants sans antécédents psychiatriques. Globalement, les croyances superstitieuses corrèlent positivement avec les croyances religieuses et les idées de type délirant et tendent donc à apparaître chez les mêmes individus. Cependant, les idées de type délirant ne sont que partiellement liées aux croyances religieuses. La relation entre les idées de type délirant et la religiosité demeure ambiguë.

Abstract
Empirical data supporting a relationship between religious beliefs, superstitious beliefs and delusion-like beliefs remain sparse, even though these 3 types of beliefs have a common point: the fact that they rest on little or no proof. This suggests that these beliefs could be underlain by a common cognitive mechanism and thus, should be observed in the same individuals. To test this last hypothesis, we asked 95 participants without any psychiatric history to complete questionnaires of delusion-like, religious, and superstitious beliefs. Superstitious beliefs positively correlated with religious and delusion-like beliefs and thus tended to appear in the same individuals. However, delusion-like beliefs were only partially linked to religious beliefs. Therefore, their relation to religious beliefs remains ambiguous.
