I was reading through Rich's discussion about putting himself down as a Jedi on the Census where it would ask "what religion are you?"
Initially, I remembered seeing a post from 2001 about people across the UK putting themselves down as Jedi. According to what's written on Wikipedia, it's not just the UK either; Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Turkey and many other places also have individuals who refer to their religious belief as "Jedi" or "Jedi Knight".
Here's the Jedi Religion Census for 2001 when it started for England and Wales.
Since looking into it a bit more, I've actually found that being a Jedi (or 'Jediism') is actually a religion. It even has two websites:
The Church of Jediism: Home | The Church of Jediism
The Temple of the Jedi Order: Home
There's more information about it at these links:
Wikipedia: Jediism - Wikipedia
ThoughtCo.: What You Should Know About the Jedi Religion
Dailypost: Jediism religion goes from Anglesey beginnings to HALF A MILLION followers
Furthermore, here's some videos on the subject.
So, what do you guys think?
