    In Movie lines and from Comedians there will sometimes be a slap at the "xxxxxians", like "Deliver me from the xxxxxians" or "Leave that to the xxxxxians".

    What Protestant religion are they referring to?

    If you are referring to the Episcopalians, it’s an Anglican denomination which vastly resembles the Catholic Church.

    Other than that, I’m not sure what xxxxxians is.

    I have seen and heard it used a lot.
    Xians, with one X, is a shortcut used when doing internet forum posting, article writing and texting.
    It is used generically for any christians of any sect, cult, flavor, doctrine or denomination. It is also used verbally, occasionally, as a short cut. The writer/speaker prefaces it with specifics if he/she wants to get more precise. i.e. Baptist Xians
