I think in this case he means something akin to Skeptic with a capital 'S'. Wherein they identify themselves as Skeptics in order to identify themselves as belonging to a particularly vocal group of people who are skeptical about religion and other super-natural stuff. It's the same reason I won't usually go around calling myself an Atheist, because while I am an atheist, I do not wish to be associated with the people who go around crying about every nativity scene or commandment stone that shows up in the public sphere. Granted I'm not about to go write a blog post listing my reasons for why I don't identify with the more vocal group of Atheists/Skeptics.
