Nah, I never got into any of those at all. I grew up with Bon Jovi... soft rock rather than hard rock. Except Sepultura... I grew up with that as well.

While many of the "hair bands" had some great music, I'll usually listen to the likes of Sprinsteen and Billy Joel in preference to them.
And I had NEVER heard of Stryper until a Thinking Atheist podcast.

8- Longer? Maybe. Happier? No way. Christians are always upset about something.
7- John Lennon. Enough said.
6 - An event held every three years vs a small gathering? Yeah.
5- Hitler was a Christian. So was Timothy McVeigh. Let's not forget the KKK. Or Eric Rudolph.
4- Both are assholes. So fair point.
3- As an Atheist, my husband worships me like a goddess, and doesn't put some god ahead of me.
2 - Most people like college professors. Religious people have their PRIESTS agree with them. How's THAT for uncoolest choices ever?
1 - Atheists believe in birth control =) Christians don't. And most only have 2 kids... so yikes.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Guilty as charged I think  There was Nirvana and Guns 'n' Roses... but I think they kind of tend towards the soft rock side... Sponge as well, which was a bit of a cross between Bon Jovi and Nirvana in their earlier stuff. And then on the opposite side of the fence, on the harder side, have you ever heard of Laibach? They did a whole album about Christianity, but not from the Christian perspective

Yay!  But it's actually been quite a long time since I last listened to them... that phase basically having been and gone... but I'll always have fond memories of growing up with their music, and I've been to one concert of theirs, back in the day. And yes, JBJ rocks and he's gorgeous

Truth of the matter is: Anyone can be 'cool', theist or no, if I deem them to be.
I have connections.
Of course, there's the matter of small fee in some circumstances. And, prices may vary.

I offer free lifelong surgery - some of it even guaranteed.
Not that I need your validation of my coolness.
No, really, I don't.
Seriously!
I also have cash and drugs!
