I don't think it's that simple to just take a forum private. My understanding was that you had to have quite a large number of members to do that. Is it easier than I think to do it?

That's besides your point, though, JD, so excuse the divergence. I do agree that people should be civil and respectful no matter what forum they post in. And my understanding of politics and religious topics matched what Dr. John confirmed--OK to discuss religion and politics in the social groups. Some social groups are even designed just for people of certain religious or political views. Usually this is evident from either the social group name or description, so it is pretty easy to avoid the groups that do not match one's personal views if one would find it upsetting to read divergent (albeit civil) views.
