'"Justin Young couldn't resist when he heard about the experimental religious Web site Church of Fools.

With the click of a mouse, the youth director of the Chinese Community Church of Indianapolis "walked" into the cyberspace church, sat down in a pew and heard a sermon.

Statistics show that of the 128 million American adults who use the Internet, 64 percent have searched for spiritual or religious information online. That comes from the Washington, D.C.-based Pew Internet & American Life Project, which did a 2004 survey of 2,000 adults."
