Only "shouting 'Fire!' in a crowded theater" would be restricted.
Explanation: speech that imminently and likely causes serious harm (incitement/panic) can be limited. The other examples—obscenity in a political film (likely protected unless it meets the narrow Miller obscenity test), door‑to‑door religious proselytizing, and stating that your religious values inform your political views—are generally protected by the First Amendment.
