My best friend from our chapter is a diehard Republican, I'm a diehard Democrat. While we never lived in the house at the same time, we just avoid the subject of politics unless it's something really neutral like "I have a College Dems meeting tonight" or "Wanna go vote and cancel each other out?"
As per the religion question, I have one sister who thinks she's an agnostic/atheist (she also thinks they're the same) but she somehow wears a cross all the time? I just ignore her. I'm not particularily intense on my religious preferences and I don't think she really understands it at all.
I've seen it get a lot worse in fraternities - one of GPBoy's brothers was SHOCKED to find out that he wasn't a Republican, but again, they just avoided the subject for the most part. I think the best story I've ever heard is when one of the Betas on here posted about how Betas fighting in the Civil War wore their badges and would not shoot each other because their brotherhood was above that - that's how I think a lot of Greeks view relationships in their chapters. We might be on different sides of the aisle, but she's my sister, and that's more important to me.
