Don't talk about religion or politics, do u follow this rule

I used to be pretty open about my views on things but recently I have decided to follow this old rule and not talk about religion or politics. Yes an interesting conversation could emerge but 90% of the time it ends up going somewhere I don't like and an argument happens or I think less of that person for having a certain view. People get so riled up over these topics that it's not worth it anymore in my humble opinion. What about you guys? Do you follow this rule or is nothing off limits?

Any help appreciated.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
