Skillet has made some cool stuff, Future of Forestry has made some good Christmas music, and I guess Owl City counts as a Christian band now

A while back I found a cool song about space on Pandora that's apparently by a Christian band but that song didn't give any evidence of that
It's not technically a Christian band but Creed has a couple banger songs that are very clearly about God/religion.
If a song slaps a song slaps. I don't care if it slaps while it talkes about something I don't personally believe in. I still listen to all kinds of hardcore rap and I have never done any drugs harder than shrooms or shot anybody.

I'm a former Christian, if that counts.
DC Talk - the album Jesus Freak is peak Christian Rock, but the earlier, hokey rap stuff was fun, too.
Five Iron Frenzy - ska band that I absolutely adored as a teen. Saw them live at a reunion tour a few years ago (as an atheist) and had a great time.
Audio Adrenaline - more Christian Rock, just a good all around band.
Relient K - really fun and melodic punk/alternative. Went more rock than punk over time, but always solid quality. They made one of the better Christmas albums on offer, too.
And just for fun, try singing Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island!

Extol's "Burial" is one of the greatest metal albums of all time, IMO
Antestor is another killer Christian metal band.

Depends what you call Christian music
NF got pretty big for a while, and pretty sure he never swore because of his religion and talked often about Christianity and his faith while promoting the Christian beliefs that are actually in the Bible and admitting his own struggles and overcoming them thru faith and hard work.
That is Christian music to me.
I mean, it's not even really debatable, he's signed to a label exclusively for Christian musical acts.
But music that is explicitly all about Jesus is usually just cashgrabs with zero meaning behind it. It's playing to the low denominator for things where "safe" is the most important part of music.
So, TLDR:
NF

The live version of Grey Stone Chapel by Cash almost makes me want to go to church everytime I hear it
