The answer to this is No.... but that only just further proves the existance of a dogma and a taboo within society and moreso within Science.
A true skeptic could not possibly look at PSI, UFO, JFK, 9/11 and come to the conclusion that there was "Nothing out of the ordinary here" based on the actual evidence.
Yet when you look at the most public skeptics like Randi, Shermer, Bill Nye and countless others (and no doubt most of the Skeptics on this forum) they will all have very firm views against those things and go so far as to even write books and publically debate it (Often looking completely stupid in the process) even though in most cases they have not investigated it at all or done very little investigation.
It shows that most people that are aligning themselves towards the "skeptic" side are doing so out of what they perceive as being in the "Educated, Commonsense, I can't be fooled.. so therefore I have credibility" group... and as a result the opposite of that must be "lacking commonsense and education and can be fooled... so you have no credibility" group.
Admitting you have a belief outside of mainstream... in the minds of skeptics only confirms you will "believe anything" when that is simply not the case.
Unfortunately though... that dogma and stigma exists... so the answer is no it doesn't help.
