You have that exactly backwards.
The term skepticism encompasses the disbelief in all supernatural claims.
Disbelief in: Gods, ESP, ghosts, Tarot card reading, spiritual surgery, etc, etc, all fall under the umbrella of skepticism.
The disbelief in gods is a special form of skepticism that gets it's own category and definition.
