I interviewed G.R., a 33-year-old hetero man in British Columbia, Canada. He calls Two Muslims "The best Muslim site I've come across, visually modern and easy to use."
He continues, "There are many high-quality people that seem to be very much like me..no geeky freaks seen. I really like the Muslim Messenger. I've made some new friends, but I'm still looking for the one."
Features at Jewish FriendFinder include instant messenger, a member-written advice "magazine," and several chat rooms (which were, however, empty when I visited at 9:30 on a weeknight). Members can also create networks of friends, put up photo albums, and post testimonials about other members.
The thing I found odd about this site was that there were non-Jews as members. I mean, it's not so strange, since we Jews are brilliant and sexy, but I was surprised to see gentiles joining a site looking specifica ... Full Review
Catholic Mingle is a dating site for Catholics. As one might expect, this site is only for heterosexual people, and “vulgar and sexually oriented material is not permitted.” Unlike many other niche sites, this one assumes that all its members are indeed already part of its niche—in other words, all Catholic.
There’s an option for “divorced with annulment” in the profile, as well as a multiple-choice “How important is Catholicism to you?” One of the essay questions is: “What does being Catholic mean to yo ... Full Review

Big Church is a dating site for Christians.
I noted that there are no options for same-sex searches (hey, there are plenty of bi and gay Christians out there). I also think it's funny that they include "Amish" as a denomination; how many Amish have PCs?
Features include a chatroom and instant messenger program, both of which are available to free members. But only paid members see people's photos.
I interviewed G.G., a 32-year-old hetero woman in the U.K. She uses the site mainly for socializing. " ... Full Review
Frumster is a pun on "Friendster," taken from the Yiddish word frum, which is another way of saying an Orthodox Jew (usually one raised that way).
I interviewed A.T., a hetero man in his 30s, in Toronto, and A.G., a 27-year-old hetero woman in FL.
Things that A.T. appreciated about the site include the following: "Most of the people are actively looking, people are (by necessity) from a similar background(ish), and everybody knows that Jews are wonderful people. ;-) Decent search tool, althoug ... Full Review
