Ahem.

Guilty as charged, unfortunately...

I didn't say it was officially recognized. What I said is true though. The UK census has an option for religion. Above a certain number of any type, and it goes from "Other" to being an actual option on the census. So among, as examples, "Christian","Muslim", and "Buddhist" there's now "Jedi" (assuming enough people put that). Of course that doesn't mean it's an officially recognized religion, it just means that it's now listed as one of the religions because a bunch of people put that down.

Personally, I put down "Jedi Knight" as my occupation on my IRS forms for a few years. It wasn't because I believed I was a Jedi Knight though. It was just because I could and I didn't care.
