Skepticism
Skepticism (British spelling: Scepticism) can mean:

- Philosophical skepticism - a philosophical position in which people choose to critically examine whether the knowledge and perceptions that they have are actually true, and whether or not one can ever be said to have absolutely true knowledge; or
- Scientific skepticism - a scientific, or practical, position in which one questions the veracity of claims, and seeks to prove or disprove them using the scientific method.
Additionally, and many times coincident with the above, "skeptic" is commonly used in today's vernacular as a euphemism for someone with a predominantly atheist or agnostic point of view, but certainly not exclusively so.
