The Lost One
Being a skeptic and being agnostic, aren’t the same thing.So you are an old school skeptic and always suspend judgement? I get that you are a sort of an agnostic, but you still act in the everyday world.
Agnosticism only deal with the philosophical question of the “existence of any deity”, which they seemed to sit in the middle between theism and atheism.
Agnosticism have no more to do with science, just as theism, atheism, deism, and any other “-ism” have nothing to do with science too.
But skepticism isn’t about suspending any judgement at all. Skeptics actively pursue against any ideas, opinions or beliefs that doesn’t agree with their own.
Anyone can be skeptical, and you don’t need science degree to be skeptical about anything.
But normally you will find there are more people who are skeptics towards the supernatural and towards folklore.
For instance, I am skeptical of the whole UFO or alien abductions. To me, it is folklore or works of fiction, and I don’t need a college degree to be skeptic in this area of alien abduction myth.
In essence, atheists are skeptical towards the concept of theism, while theists are just skeptical towards the concept of atheism. Neither have anything to do with science, and neither of required science to be skeptical of each other.
