I attend a private Christian university in Texas (Baylor University, sic 'em Bears!) and all incoming freshman are required to take two classes, Chapel and Religious Scriptures.
Well today at Chapel we had a really awesome speaker come and talk to us, and he told us about one of the projects he worked on. I can't remember the name of the project, but he traveled to all 50 states in the US and polled people the following question:
"If you could use one word to describe Christians, what would you use?"

The top three were anti-gay, judgemental, and hypocritical. Other words that were used were hateful, condescending, and excluding.

The saddest part of it all was that the word which describes the entirety of Christianity was no where at the top of the list; love

And so I come to TL and ask all of you, if you could use any one word to describe Christians, what word would you use?

Dude, I don't think this thread is going to make you happy. TL generally trends toward the "fuck religion" side of things (although not everyone is like that).

the question to describe all christians with just one word is already stupid.

so, the best word would be "christian", i guess

besides anti-gay, judgemental,hypocritical,hateful, condescending and excluding?

i think narrow-minded hits it quite well...
[add the normal stuff like, "think they have the only and all-solving belive" "their god is the greatest" "there is no other thing" "explain science than? cant? HA we won" or "evolution is crap" here]
Ooooh, look at it go

The word that I would use to describe the people who picked those words is discriminant.

Yeah, I don't see this going well. You're going to get a lot of negative responses here.

But since you asked: ignorant.

Judgemental and hypocritical suits well, that's the words that fits my parents aswell.

It seems to me that what you really want is confirmation for the belief that the people on the "outside" are inherently hostile due to having a misconstrued or misguided view of your religion.

really hard with one word to be honest
do you want to describe christians or christianity cuz u say both
for christianity id probably go with cancerous
for christians it would be (since anti-gay counts as 1 word aswell!) mind-boggingly condescendingly ignorant


also yeah, i like brainwashed alot

anti-gay, judgemental, hypocritical, hateful, condescending, excluding, narrow-minded all suit pretty well. There's a lot of good in christianity, but it gets overshadowed by the bad.

The word "cool" is also something passé, belonging to the sugary, colourful world of the 1990's. The inhabitants of this website are showing their age. My basic posture for the last decade has been anti-anti-Christian, because I am more avant garde than the lot of you.

can't decide between 'narrow-minded' and the adjective for 'long overdue to die out' (extinction-deserving?)

Christians? One word? Uhm, Narrow-minded, Brainwashed, Judgemental, Hypocritical all fit well, do not know which one to pick.
On a more serious note: what did you really expect asking this here?
