though redeeming from what?

From humanity of course.

How does you never getting hit by a falling ladder because of your superstitious concern about being beneath one redeem said superstition from humanity?

^ Does that superstition also exist in Norway?  I imagined that it was only an American thing. We also have bad luck when breaking a mirror, spilling salt, Friday the 13th, black cats to avoid, and more. 

Farting in church is also to be avoided but that is not an outright superstition. At the very least,farts need to be silent ones.

Yes and no. All those superstitions "exist" here, but you will be hard-pressed to find a person willing to admit that they hold them.  I think the mirror one is probably the more common - I don't take any of them seriously though, so limited knowledge.

Now this one, I was not previously aware of.
