//Even capitalizing a word and saying that one 'believes' OR 'disbelieves' in *God* is an implicit assertion that there IS such a thing//

Well, I don't believe in Hobbits. Do you consider that an implicit assertion that there is such a thing?

Maybe I'm hard-wired to be a skeptic. I am even skeptical of arguments and evidence that lead to conclusions that I basically agree with.

But by "hard-wired" I don't mean I was born that way. Skepticism is a useful skill developed by lots of practice.
