I'd try to steer clear of politics and religion. If they get on either subject try to redirect. Weather, kids, grand kids, spouse, pets, sports, news, vacation plans, rest of the day plans, where they like to eat, clothes, shoes, .............
If they ask direct questions like what do you (think, believe, your opinion) and you think they will be offended with honesty I'd say, I'm not sure, I haven't made up my mind, I need to think about that some more, .............
My parents favorite for religious or political discussions they were uncomfortable with was "I/We don't discuss that outside the family".

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
