Some people don't realize that it's never appropriate to talk to someone who is essentially a stranger about their politics or religion.
As an FO the biggest issues I had with captains, where those who had authority issues (treated my like a baby, micromanaged, acted like pricks), didn't care for my input, or just generally didn't care what I had to say about anything. There are some a-holes out there, but it's been my experience they are few and far between. For the most part the people I don't want to fly with again are people that had a personality I just didn't mesh with.
