Precisely. The lies change, the people don't.
skepticism is to not believe in something introduced. from what you're saying, it would be impossible for a Christian to be skeptical at all. of course a Christian would not be skeptical of what they believe to be true, that doesn't even make sense.
your looking at skepticism as a base of belief. which, there probably is some religion of in this world, but that's not the topic here.
skepticism is not a blanket belief.
