It was unprofessional of the pilot to scare the passengers and to insult them by calling them "crazy" if they did not raise their hand.

He may not have meant to scare them, but he should have thought about that. It is reasonable, given what has happened, for the passengers to worry that a hijacking was in progress or that the pilot was suicidal.

He should realize that many people are uncomfortable with people who preach their religion. By asking the Christians on board to explain their beliefs to others he was bound to make some people unhappy, even some Christians. The airline should want the passengers to have a safe and comfortable flight, not make them wish they were someplace else.

I would not want to identify my religion and proselytize to a bunch of complete strangers. That is not why I pay to fly somewhere.
