    I don't care who you are or what you believe. Watching Mercyme perform "I Can Only Imagine" live would make an atheist cry.

I agree, and I am a Christian music fan! Mercy Me is only being used because they are a bland, run of the mill, middle of the road, contemporary band. AND they had a crossover semi-hit (years ago) in "I can only Imagine" Try getting some good Christian acts like Relient K, Skillet, Family Force 5, or David Crowder.
