The point of scepticism is not to deny knowledge. The point of scepticism is to question our assumptions and examine how we know what we know. It is the foundation of the scientific ethos. Calling a denier of facts a sceptic is a disservice and an insult to the real sceptics. If you are unwilling to question your sources and evaluate them then you certainly are not a sceptic. If you are unwilling to examine your beliefs and evaluate the reasons you believe the way you do, you are not a sceptic. If you are not ready to accept demonstrable facts then you can not call yourself a sceptic.
