Politics and religion are fine for recruitment conversation if handled correctly. Often, much of the leadership experience a PNM has comes from a political or religious group, and you wouldn't want to not tell a chapter about your involvement. Obviously, you don't want to have a political or theological debate, particularly if the other person disagrees with you.

When I first met my little during recruitment, she made a comment that let me know we had similar opinions, so we did talk about politics. It worked out, but I don't recommend doing it, because you never know what you're getting into.

And you shouldn't have to apologize for faith being a part of your life. You have shared a part of who you are without being preachy.
