"I do not hold all the exact same beliefs as you" is not at all the same thing as "I am a disagreeable person."
"I will say yes to absolutely everything you say" is not at all the same thing as "I will do a good job."
There are absolutely far too many workplaces where you are expected to kiss ass to be hired or to progress.
Personally, I know that I would never feel OK working there, so I don't see the point of trying to pretend I'm an ass-kisser in interviews. I actually am an agreeable person, overall; I just want to find a place to work that will be OK working with me, not with some extremely different false face I have to spend a huge amount of energy putting on every day just to get paid there.
