If Sagan had actually looked for it happening in politics and religion, he'd have found plenty of examples. Especially in the latter.

If it really does happen in politics and religion at a comparable rate, then the quote is certainly misleading, but I rather doubt that that is the case. Sagan did not say that it never happens in politics or religion, only that he could not recall an instance.
