If your religion is of low enough importance to you to that you are willing to put in a religion from 3 good sci-fi films from years ago, and 3 more recent rubbish ones,please consider ticking "No Religion" instead.
The data gathered is used to inform government policy, and was used by the last government to justify funding of religious community bodies over secular ones. For example, 2001 census data has been used repeatedly to justify an increase in the number of state maintained faith schools and the increasing level of government money spent on faith organisations.
By ticking ‘No Religion’, you will ensure that the Government receives an unambiguous message about the number of non-religious people in the UK. Any other response may be manipulated into a response in favour of religion and publically funded religious organisations.
For more information and further reasons to tick ‘No Religion’, visit The Census Campaign website. http://census-campaign.org.uk/
If you don't have an active faith, please make sure the government knows, You are our only hope

Better a bad bomb than a bombadI wonder how many people sincerely (crazy or not) mean it when they say there religion is Jedi.

Better a bad bomb than a bombadAnd in-universe, is Jedi/Force a religion?
Are the Jedi Knights merely a type of warrior-clergy for a widespread faith, or do they represent in total the entirety of their religion?
Is Amidala is Forceist? Does Jar-Jar beleives he rejoins the Force when he dies?
A couple people who aren't Jedi toss out "May the Force be With You." Is this a meaningless expression, like "Bless You" when someone sneezes, or an afirmation of faith?

I always thought it was a meaningless (or semi-meaningless) expression. Han uses it in one of the movies (can't remember which one) and I doubt it was meant religiously. I think it was more "good luck" than anything.

I always thought the Force was the equivalent of God in Star Wars. Not in the sense that some people can use it, but that there is the belief in the Force. Han doesn't believe in it, but Bail Organa does (at least according to RotS novel, IIRC). The Jedi are like priests of the way of the Force.
"May the Force be with you." may be considered the equivalent of "God bless you." or "May God be with you."
