Sufjan Stevens is the coolest of the Christian hipsters. He is easily as cool any of the bands on Matador or Subpop.
It is true that some Christians are not as cool as their secular counterparts, but some are.
Moby is a Christian. Norma Jean are Christians. Kierkegaard was a Christian, I would say he is a major influence over the whole post-modern/hipster culture.
It is true that Jerry Falwell is not quite a cool (whatever that means) as some other people and "ReACT: God's news for teens" wasn't the coolest magazine in the world. But if you look at some of the greatest writers and poets and philosophers in history, many of them were Christians.
Just because Jerry Fallwell isn't cool doesn't mean that Christians are cool. Name any movement in history that has produced more writers, musicians, poets, philosophers, etc than Christianity (we are #1!).
