Could it be that your skepticism is what is unwarranted? It's certainly a modern bias to be skeptical, which postmodernism takes to dogmatic extremes.

Belief is harder than skepticism because it means submitting yourself to an external authority, rather than holding yourself aloof and independent. It's interesting the extent to which secular humanism and empiricism have turned classical thinking around.
