In particular, I am looking for a preschool or kindergarten curriculum with religious emphasis. Suggestions or links are appreciated - the ones I've heard the most about so far are Before Five In A Row / Five In A Row and Weaver / Weaver Interlock. Comparison website links would be most helpful!

I had forgotten all about Sonlight, but I've heard great things about it too - thanks!

Do you mean a review site of homeschool curriculum? The only one I've used is this: http://www.homeschoolreviews.com/ I have found it useful and posted a few reviews on it myself!

You might attend a homeschool convention or book fair in your area. They are usually just getting started during this time of year and run through the summer. I am not sure if these curriculums would for sure be there but to me it is your best shot of seeing and being able to really to flip through the books and get the best idea of what they hold.
You could also look in your phonebook to see if there is a homeschool store in your city. We have one here in Houston that sells all kinds of used and new homeschool curriculums, you might find something like that and spend an afternoon comparing.
Good Luck

Bob Jones Univeristy Press (BJUP)
Alpha Omega (AOP) (makers of the Weaver curriculum)
A Beka
Sonlight
Veritas Academy
Rod and Staff
And I'm sure there are several others, but these are what come to mind off the top of my head.
Also, look at Rainbow Resource - they have TONS of curriculum for all levels.

I don't know of any comparison websites, unfortunately. However another one to add to your list would be Sonlight http://www.sonlight.com . It may not be as religious as you are looking for, but they are a Christian company.
The best thing to do would be to find a support group and see if any members have the curricula in question and ask if you might have a look at them.

homeschoolreviews.com is the best one I have found and I have looked and looked for a really good one. They list nearly every curriculum out there and the reviews are by people that have used them, not the manufacturer. I would highly recommend this.
