About 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi in the 2001 Census
This is a quote from that BBC article
"Last year, brothers Barney and Daniel Jones founded the UK Church of the Jedi - which offered sermons on the Force, light sabre training, and meditation techniques."
They left out sermons for Jedi Mind Trick. I would've liked to see them teach that
I wonder how they make they light sabre sounds during training??I thought my eldest son may convert to Jedi at one point, but a few more birthdays intervened and stopped that from happening. (There are worse religions than Jedi, I think though.
)I registered as Jedi just to stir the pot. I was a practicing pagan at the time and thought it might be fun.
And for those raising an eyebrow at my profile, I *did* live in the UK at the time!
