I'm superstitious, obsessive-compulsive, and trying to become an Atheist... Help?

It does sound like you have OCD, and a more severe case than most have at that. If you are medically diagnosed, great, treat it with therapy. If you have not been diagnosed, see a psychiatrist and make sure.

As someone else has said, if this is OCD logic probably won't cure it. But even so, think logically.

I'll give you an example. Ghosts. Widely accepted as true by the religious, nonreligious, and superstitious. We have seen throughout history that very few people have ever thought about the universe's mysteries, created a theory, and had that theory actually be correct (as far as we know). Very few in the scope of an entire planet of human beings, with new generations filling the planet every 15-20 years or so.

So from this, I think we can safely deduce that the odds of a human being's belief being correct when there is not sufficient evidence provided is very low. Therefore there is an extremely low chance that ghosts exist, at least in the way we imagine them. There has been no evidence, and no real reason to believe this claim. So, what does this get you? Not much. It won't get you an answer, but you are much more likely to be correct than the guy who believes in ghosts. So, refute the claim. Alas, this is the wonder of logic. By following this course of rejecting what you are told unless it has sufficient evidence to support its truth, you will hold the answers in your hand. The mysteries of the universe that we now understand, you will understand and admire while others will shrug it off because it isn't in their holy book or some other source. So, be proud of not knowing whether or not these superstitious beliefs you have actually exist. They probably don't - but perhaps this may help you to avoid believing in them until you can prove they are as you think they are.

Again, you probably just need to have the OCD treated with either medicine or therapy, or both. Whether its through logic or therapy, good luck.
