I wouldn't leave raw pastry dough out, but I'd leave something with baked pastry dough out for a day or two, depending on the filling and how warm it is in the house (hot summer, I'd put it in the fridge).
Raw pastry dough? CAN it be left out? Sure! Should it be left out? Depends on what kind of pastry dough it is. I wouldn't leave pie dough out since it relies on being cold to work properly.
I leave butter out on the counter all the time....as long as its not going to be there for a long period of time, pretty much any solid fat should be fine out of the refrigerator. It's a preservative after all.
