Christianity is actually a very intelligent and even scientific faith. It's how the faith is represented by its followers that makes all the difference. I will say that I feel as though more Christians are accepting that we live in a fallen world and we must interact with it, therefore it makes good sense to have an understanding of our faith on both a spiritual AND an intellectual level.

While at a secular university in Georgia, I took a couple race philosophy (where the teacher was a lesbian/femenist/atheist) and a few other classes of similar content and instruction and my faith and principles therein were never looked at as unintelligent, but respected and listened to by those in the class, professor included. I have taken note that a great deal of Christians are highly confrontational and defensive in classes such as this where staunchly differing views of touchy moral and ethical (and even scientific) arguments are presented. Christianity is not an unintellegent faith, and most Christian ideals on such matters can be heard and respected if presented in a rational, compassionate way. When Christians begin to look ridiculous and stupid is when tempers flare and it becomes angry religious rhetoric instead of a genuine, rationally conversed understanding of faith. *chris I would imagine that the main reason that most faculty view Evangelical Christians in a negative light has little to do with faith and a lot to do with actions.
