You HAVE to have a sense of humour about the b*llshit in this world. Otherwise you badly risk going postal! 
Also, I think it's important to reserve the rage and hatred for the "psychics", ghost hunters, healers, chiropractors, paranormal investigators, conspiracy theorists &c; and have compassion for their victims (even if they're naive, ignorant, credoulus, plain stupid or all of the above). Often, the victims are in a vulnerable situation, with acute health problems, grief for a lost family member, or by some other cause desperately in need of hope or comfort.
If you're a skeptic and hate the "true believers", why aren't you taking their money writing their horoscope or pretending to commune with their dead parents? Because you're a GOOD PERSON with empathy and love for your fellow humans, that honestly and straightforward tell them how stupid their superstitions are!!!
