Spiritual is having a relationship with God in Christ.
Religious is the system of rules and regulations and observances believed by some to have some kind of effect in reaching, or more accurately appeasing God to earn his favor.
Superstitious is having faith that kissing some relic that nobody can prove belonged to Mary in the first place, is going to heal you. Who made that decision that that action was effective? Sounds pretty man made to me.

You so totally missed the point but so completely illustrated it.
