This is why I think skepticism without Skeptics should become a major proponent talking point.
The entire Skeptical Movement is a lesson in failure, but the idea of skepticism has great value. Makes me think back to the Psychical Societies at times rigorous testing for frauds without a religious commitment to materialism.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
