"Do kids have an innate ability to think logically without training, and if so, how and when are they most susceptible to the superstitions of adults? "

Children are first introduced to superstitions at about age 1 or so when they are taught about Santa Claus who serves as a training diety.  A bait and  switch concept to be sure.  Bait them with Santa and later switch them to Jesus.
