GodTube and MyChurch reflect growth of religion online


In the name of MySpace, YouTube and the holy Internet, amen.


A number of religious websites are aping the names and styles of some of the Web's most popular sites. Chief among them are GodTube.com, a video-sharing site for Christians, and MyChurch.org, a social networking realm.


The explosion of niche social networking sites that divvy up your personality into various identities has extended into religion with MyChurch.org. The site describes itself: "This is NOT 'MySpace for Christians,' this is MyChurch for EVERYONE."
