Why is god necessary for the preconditions for knowledge?

If generally not believing in the supernatural makes me a naturalist, then I guess so. I don't believe in the supernatural, however, mostly because I'm a skeptic. So I guess my worldview could be summed up as, 'Be skeptical of everything, even your skepticism.'
