One of the problems is the the word "skepticism" has several meanings, much like the word "theory". In common parlance, being skeptical means to not believe. When creationists call themselves "evolution skeptics", they're committing essentially the same equivocation fallacy as when they say "evolution is just a theory"--and most people don't realize it.

education about the meaning of the words is important, this is very true. I think it is important to separate the "atheism" from "skepticism" like we did in Edmonton.

I agree with you about just letting "people that don't belong" come. There should be one important difference tween a skeptical organization and one of a less open-minded pursuation

Faced with a detractor, a faith-based group may say "Get out of here and shush up"

Faced with a detractor, a skeptical organization should say, "Come on in here and PROVE it"

I do get to that point, with the way KH's vid came out it was easier to hit each point in order for me.
