When alcohol is involved: "no politics, no religion."

Simple, easy rule to live by. And not following it will fuck things up between people.

The phrase about not talking religion or politics is a gross cop-out designed to maintain the status quo, keeping people from thinking critically about issues that actually matter in society, and branding it impolite when someone is outspoken. Fuck polite society; we cannot afford that luxury anymore.

Nah, it's designed to not cause fist-fights among people who actually otherwise like each other.

I have no qualms talking politics or religion with my buddies when alcohol isn't a factor. We're all calm and rational people in those instances. When alcohol gets involved, though, is when shit hits the fan.
