I'm not sure about the specific examples mentioned. But there used to be an adage about mixing religion and politics with business. That adage exists because there has always been the risk of ostracization when sharing political and religious opinions publicly. Contrary to popular belief, that is not some new phenomenon. It's just that social media made it more likely that someone will see your political opinions (thus increasing the chances of ostracization..you are broadcasting your opinions to the world after all) and made the consequences more visible (so you hear about that guy that was fired for saying the wrong thing today whereas 30 years ago you would not have).
