With a lot of these topics, it depends on how the post or comment is worded. I've seen plenty of posts/comments where the user spoke about the topics and viewpoints in your list and didn't get downvoted for it.

I have a very simple rule that I rarely break. If someone's post is worth replying to, I don't downvote. It's only if a response would be pointless that I downvote.

On rare occasions, I even upvote people who disagree with me if they said it well or made some good points or conceded some ground though not the "war" I think that's worth upvoting.
