The result was redirect to Christian culture. The first "keep" must be ignored as offering no valid argument, so we redirect this unsourced article as a compromise: if somebody does get around to write an article based on reliable sources such as the one proposed by K.e.coffman, they can recreate the article.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete, redirect, or reduce to a dabpage -- I am an evangelical Christian, so that normally I would favour keeping worthwhile articles. However, my feeling is that this is not a worthwhile stub.  It is a sort of intersection between Christian Contemporary Music, Christian rock music and Christian culture.  The musical aspects are actually subcultures of secular music, and the other aspects mentioned by the article, probably differ little from contemporary secular culture: do many people cook differently because they are Christians, and if they do, this is not "Pop"?  Christian literary forms (such as theology and biography) have little "pop" to do with them.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:28, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect including as a compromise, considering this currently is unsourced and unused with actual information. SwisterTwister   talk  05:52, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Tentative keep: there's a book written on the topic, Rapture Ready!: Adventures in the Parallel Universe of Christian Pop Culture, by Daniel Radosh. Amazon preview says:
 * "From Christian theme parks to Passion plays and comedy nights, Radosh combines gonzo reporting with a keen eye for detail and just the right touch of wit. Rapture Ready! is a revealing survey of a parallel universe, a unique perspective on one of America’s most important social movements." link
 * So it goes beyond music, i.e. Ark Encounter is just one such example. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:20, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
