Selling out is exactly what they do and I think it was better to leave it there, but... whatever. You're the boss.
At the same time though, what does that mean about them themselves.

I think it's ok to become secular if your in an emotional time of your life and that emotion is all you can think about in the songs, but becoming secular to sell more is wrong.

I agree.
I feel God has called me to a career in music, particularly mainstream, to minister in a way different from other Christian musicians. I mean, sing about whatever I write, whether it be about God outright or not, and not hide my faith.
Do you get what I'm saying?
As for relient K, I don't think they're sell outs. I'm still finding God in their songs. Switchfoot I think is the same. Why they went mainstream, I don't know, but it's never good if the motivation is money.
Do you guys know about Project 86? On their third album, they tried to go for mainstream sucess and failed. There's an article I read about it written by the lead singer and what God taught him through that.

just because music doesn't have the word god or jesus in it doesn't make it non-christian, christian music can be expressed in many ways

well going secular to sell is wrong, going secular to use as a witnessing tool is good but you cant always tell which is which unless you here from the band members your self. also you cant call them secular if they dont have God in them. alot of bands dont say God like Dead poetic one of my favorite bands typicly doesnt but the use metaphors to illustrate Biblical principles.
