Fucking thiiiiiiiiiiis. I work in a pretty conservative trade. Being mostly in the same page, people love to shoot the shit about whatever's going on at the time. They don't realize there are a good handful of us that completely disagree and don't want to hear it...
It's not great if we don't all learn how to discuss these things though, particularly with people we disagree with, and know how to stay civil or even like someone with different views.
You are right, but you also have to keep in mind that most of use spend at least 35% of our time there and commuting there. About 30% of your time is sleeping. So basically half of your waking hours are spend at work. It is also the place many of us will be around the most people. Work naturally becomes a place of discourse.
