Snopes Urban Legends Reference Pages has a discusion about marking Jedi on census forms on at http://www.snopes.com/religion/jedi.htm

I was extremely tempted to put Jedi this time, but I wasn't sure if they said we couldn't do it. I just put down 'No religion' instead. If I can't be a Jedi, I'm not going to be anything.

bondgirl : ' ' mazzanda : ' ' nezangel : ' When they did the National Census I put down my religion as Jedi - if so many hundred or thousand (I forget which) people claim to be that religion it's an official one but although a lot of people did the same it was rejected as a religion by the powers that be - try doing that with some religions & you've got burning & looting & worse on your hands! Use the force!      That worked here in Australia, and for 4 years it was an official religion... but this year they got a bit narky about it and said "It's not a religion - fools!". If there was a religion to belong to, that would definitely be it. Yeah, I heard that on Rove a couple of weeks ago.  I am going to now expose myself (oo-er) as the old fart that I am.... I actually think the census is a good thing and should be completed correctly as provides vital information for the planning and allocation of esential resources *ducks*  -  although...... that could be because I didn't think of the Jedi response (very funny)to the religion question - Jealousy is a curse

Like typing lessons -  as it provides..... essential... 

Sorry

It's no more or less ridiculous than other religions, except Scientology which way more ridiculous than anything else out there.

You mean GROK isn't a religion?  Dang, I'm gonna have to ask for my census form back.... 

I think that is part of the Jewish faith but I could be wrong...

That's right, Jodes.  But don't some people believe that God is too holy to write down? So we should call G-d/ T-im?  I'm just confusing myself.
