When studying cultural anthropology, one is generally taught to treat every belief system with respect and to keep one's opinions to themselves. Speaking up on the ideas of skepticism is usually frowned upon. Malorie Mackey used to feel strongly that all beliefs should be respected, as she came from an anthropological background.
