I like to think agnostic means "open minded," particularly about religion and faith. So to say "being agnostic about other things" would be like saying "being open minded about other things." So I guess you could say I try to be agnostic about other things, as much as possible.

However, according to my personal definition of "science," it and belief in the supernatural are completely incompatible. Believing in the super natural would mean keeping a closed mind to certain scientific possibilities. Science means keeping a closed mind to all non-scientific possibilities. But science is much more practical, so I prefer science and ignore the supernatural.
