I agree, Scientology is cool when you are in the CoS Scientology is cool... you get to be in the same club as those cool A list stars like Tom Cruise... and all towards the cool cause of saving the planet.
However coolness and uncoolness is based on the judgement of others. To seek to be cool, in of itself, is simply to seek attention and approval from others and invites falling victim to the positive feedback loop of peer pressure and conformity. Add to this the prevalent dichotomies of good/evil cool/uncool that leaves no room for the infinite shades of gray, and the results are as perverse as the in the Lord of the Flies.
The self-determined path to enlightenment does not require "coolness" or "approval" or "conformity".
Freedom is a choice. Choose to be yourself, choose to speak your truth and do so with compassion. And above all else, choose to be not afraid. If I can't dance, its not my revolution.
