In all seriousness, humans are diverse, even among family. I won't lie, I have cut off family members. Not because I wanted to, but because they sucked the life out of me. My late mother whom died in 2017 was a lifetime Catholic. I had long since left religion. But our conflicts were more along the lines of living habits and not religion. However, when I eventually met my biological family, that was different. They were/are the preverbal white anxiety pro gun, anti abortion, liberals are commies. My adoptive mother was a lifetime voting republican, but as much as we disagreed on politics and religion, she always had my back.
I think ultimately it amounts to who you are familiar with locally. I can see diverse people getting along, and it does happen. But at the same time, there are times when bad logic isn't something you can simply ignore. My late mother put her foot down with Trump. And that was a woman who voted for Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, McCain and Romney.
The good thing about my late mother is that she never forced religion on me. In my teens I stopped going to Church. I still believed at the time, but I felt I didn't need the weekly ass kissing club. It took me over 10 years to go from not going to church, to "I don't know" to " Something isn't right" to "I don't need this mythology."
But on a planet of 7 billion, it is unavoidable to deal with 7 billion diverse humans, including family and friends.
My only measure to any relationship, regardless of family friend or subject is, what you are willing to tolerate. I'd say put up with it if it isn't sucking the life out of you. But at the same time, if you are being abused or being so fearful that you have to walk on eggshells, then it isn't worth it.
