Simple, don't pick subjects, such as religion, sexuality, etc. It's not that deep.

and like you said it's not that deep. pick something light.

a candidate that pulls the religious thing now is one that's going to drag their crazy shit into the office later. or complete misread the room / culture now, and in the future.

like it's a technical job interview, talk about something vague technical, even if it's just how the convection settings work in your oven.
