A sceptic generally doesn't believe in Gods, souls, afterlives, ghosts and magic, because they are ill-defined and have no evidence besides anecdotes.
I agree that accepting reality on reality's terms can be daunting and so many people prefer the comfort of fantasy.
Something to point out. Being an atheist is just a subset of my skepticism rob. An atheist can believe in spirits for that matter.
