No, quite the contrary. Yes, he did alienate me and many other movie goers with that decision (I never have seen The Passion of Christ nor do I plan to rent it), but he was true to his own vision and plenty of people DID go see it.

Apparently enough people were interested in The Da Vinci Code to read it to make it a best seller for a long time. So what are they worried about? It they want to avoid controversy, they should sell the story rights. It was its controversial perspective that made the book interesting.
