Yeah I've heard about this...there's a lot of nutcases out there that put that down on the census for their actual religion. Enough that it may some day, if the numbers climb, have to be recognized as an official religion...however this just proves how idiotic people are. Its a movie. Yes, its very entertaining, and its a great movie, but its a movie....

Not that I support the Jedi religion or its followers, but strictly speaking, Christianity is a book. Just a book.
There is an officially organized Jedi and Sith religion. The Jedi religion has no formal site (it was deleted a while ago). However, the official Sith religion's site is: www.sithism.com
Sithism is cool. In fact, I consider myself a real life Sith.

And why not? A religion is a belief, you can say anything is a religion.
Now if you had worded that as saying: "This is a commonly held myth. No census response can create an officially recognised religion." Then it would have had some credibility.

om my gawd. have you been to that site? they claim that" The jedi and sith have been around for years, but noone (not even themselves) knew about them until GL made SW..." they also want to go to parties with jedi, they... just go to "Site aims" and you'll see...
What's wrong with 'Jedism' becoming a religion?
True, it would be a religion based off of a movie, but honestly, where do you think Lucas got the inspiration from?
I can already see influences ranging from Japanese Samurai and Christianity. The Golden Rule, turn the other cheek...etc. Do your very best and strive to put others before yourself.
I understand that criticizing something is easier than trying to comprehend it, but it just goes to show how truly uneducated some people are.
hmm i really think the whole think was started right from the beginning..from the first film episode IX, a new hope.
remember those ppl in the battle station discussing bout the power of the new Death star:
"...this station is now the ultimate power in the universe!"
VADER: "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorceress's ways Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to the ANCIENT RELIGION does not help u conjure up the stolen datatapes..or given u clairvoyance enuff to find the rebels hidden fortress. (choked by Vader using the Force)"
"I find your lack of Faith disturbing"
Hmm..so faith in the living Force..Faith as in Faith itself..or the Force as a Faith? 🙂

The force is everything, and everything is the force.
