interviews - but here they're open game my friend. As is sexuality,
finance, pets, the slave trade and, well - pretty much everything else.
Actually that's a topic that could be fun: describe in your life a time when
you really wish that religion and/or politics had NOT come up. For me it
was when I was best man at a Catholic wedding. I let it slip in conversation
that I was an atheist - it nearly gave the groom's mom a heart attack. She
actually asked the priest if I should be replaced for fear that it would
invalidate the sacrament. ;^)

I thought "Religion and Politics" were NO-NO topics for bars, work and
(CF-talk|CF-Community) lists alike.. ;)
We all have our beliefs and disbeliefs, but lets not "discuss" these types
of things here.. as it will only offend some people!
