Skepticism is no more than the exercising of your right to ask questions and to demand the evidence in support of the claims made by those who would have you accept their ideas without question. 

 

"There is no obvious limit to human gullibility. We are docile credulity-cows, eager victims of quacks and charlatans who milk us and grow fat.There is a rich living to be made by anyone prepared to prostitute the language — and the wonder — of science.

The universe is mysterious enough to need no help from warlocks, shamans and ‘psychic’ tricksters. These are at best a soul-sapping distraction. At worst they are dangerous profiteers.

The real world, properly understood in the scientific way, is deeply beautiful and unfailingly interesting. It’s worth putting in some honest effort to understand it properly, undistracted by false wonder and prostituted pseudo-science.

Curiosity about everything around us, drives us to find the best information we can about those things that cross our path.

This helps us to engage with the real world and real world issues." Richard Dawkins
