Is it because it was an airplane or because he mentioned that oh so extreemly taboo subject "religion".

If it was a cab driver would the reaction be the same?

I wonder how many of the passengers contacted lawyers.

I don't think so. In fact, I'm sure it happens all the time. The difference is that you can always tell the cab driver to pull over and let you out... Also, you can talk to the driver personally and tell him what you think of his comments (without having to wait until the end of the ride). That's why I would have much less of a problem with a cab driver doing this than with a pilot.
