Attack of the Theocrats!
Liebore, you probably handled it about right. Let the guy spout his nonsense, (cringe quietly), and then get on with the business. We've all been offended at some time or other. Try not to let it bother you, and if it happens again, have a quiet laugh at the guy's ideas. You could always pull the "Fine but I have to meet another supplier in x minutes time so get on with it" line.
I wonder how a Jewish or Muslim potential supplier would have handled it? Probably with a lot more discretion.
