Born-Again MySpace, YouTube Sites Shift Focus to God

A number of religious Web sites 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."

All are invited to MyChurch, including nonbelievers who can pick from the 4,306 churches that have pages on the site. You first form a Facebook-style profile that can be linked to friends and different churches.

Users can share sermons saved as podcasts, blog about their faith and learn about church activities.
