supernatural beliefs
Faith in magic
Supernatural beliefs are convictions about phenomena beyond natural explanation—gods, spirits, magic, miracles, or afterlives.
The term often appears in anthropological or skeptical contexts, framing such beliefs as objects of study rather than truths: Supernatural beliefs vary widely across cultures.
The phrase can carry implicit distance or dismissal, since believers rarely describe their own faith as "supernatural beliefs."
