I for one would be glad if more companies mandated No Politics / No Religion" policies. As some one who used to bring up politics intermittently at work, I realized the error of my ways. There is nothing to gain in bringing up politics. If they are in the opposite camp, now you have built a new trust barrier between the two of you. Even if they are on the same camp, it is very rare to be perfectly on the same page and you will be damned for not being sincere / believing enough. Creates a circular firing squad scenario akin to what President Obama warned against.
