Yes because more than likely neither will change their minds and both are trying to get the other to see their side.It's really pointless.

I have been a Christian for most my life. I never argue religion or politics with anyone. If my friends like to talk about religion we have good talks.

I am a non theist Secular Humanist and tend toward left of center in my political thinking.. Most of my friends are svery religious Christians and some aresome of those are quite conservative political. We recognize each other as sincere
individuals who try to good works for our comunities and simply
do not discuss areas where our interests are very strong but arein sharp disagreement.We get along just fine that way, often with feeling of considerable affection for each other.

I would say if they are a really good friend, you should be able to argue anything.
My girlfriend is Buddhist and I'm an atheist and we talk about religion all the time. My mom has different politics from me and we talk about it more than anything

Not if they are a good friend.
With someone you half know, or who may not competely trust you for yourself, it can be a major disaster.
If they are your friend only because you are like them, then introducing questions can be profoundly unsettling.
But having a trusted friend with whom you can chew things over, thrash things out, now that is something of considerable value.

Argue? Yes, it is a waste of energy,(especially circular arguments that go nowhere) although I think discussing differences can lead to something big.

It depends on who the friend is. Some you can, and some you cannot.
These are not subjects to can bring up in the general public.

arguments are a waste of time on any subject. however, discussing any subject is educational and enlightening. there is a tremendous difference in these two different approaches.
