Not that I know of any that do, but if you had the power to do it, would you play "Where Is the Love" on a Christian music station? While it's not a Christian song in nature, it is one that has a message behind it that would appeal to Christian music fans. I do think it would be a good idea to add secular pop music to Christian radio if it has a positive message.

My friends referred to it as "that Christian song on they play on the radio." She's religious, so yeah, it could work. Maybe not put it in very high rotation though.

I think it's too political to be played on a Christian station. The songs compares the CIA to the bloods, crypts, and KKK. Not a popular theory in the Christian community.
Maybe it would get played on a special about nonviolence or something, but never in regular rotation.

The only thing "Christian" about it is the line, "Father, Father, Father help us, send some guidance from above". Otherwise it's your standard pretentious political statement song. I wouldn't want to hear it on a Christian station.

I don't see why not. Hey, they put "I Can Only Imagine" on secular radio!

Yes, but the two main formats that played MercyMe were Top 40 and AC, which cater to a wide variety of music. They are supposed to play what is most popular to adults(AC) or the masses(CHR/Pop), no matter what tgenre they come from.
Christian and other specific formats (country, jazz) play only that type of music because that is what they cater to. A specific audience and not a mass audience.

Christian music stations like to hold their noses up at secular music. So if songs like "hands" by Jewel and "shine" by collective soul can't get christian airplay, this one doesn't have a prayer.
