There are many issues that fall firmly into the camp of political activism, scientific skepticism, and humanism. There are some chance intersections (but only insomuch as they are tangentially related), and other intersections where issues come clashing together head on.
Whether you fancy yourself a libertarian, an atheist, or a high school chemistry teacher, (or any combination thereof) it's important to remember the context in which you find yourself, and your current set of values and interests (which are, hopefully, always subject to change, pending new data).
Below are some issues that skeptics often find themselves dealing with in some manner, and a diagram showing where they are, and where they are not.
Hint: Libertarianism is not the logical outcome of scientific skepticism, but that doesn't mean that a skeptic can't also be a libertarian. It just means that said person should stop conflating the two.
