Having said that, the force, as explained in the OT not the shitty PT, is actually based on Buddhism and so I guess you could say that I do believe in it to an extent.

Did you watch the video? I think his issue is with people who really think The Force is real. This is mostly evident in the UK where they had a group of people claim "Jedi" as their religion. If you view Star Wars as a work of fiction, like most sane people do, the guy doesn't think you're going to hell at all.

The Force, as explained and shown in the OT, is based on many things, Buddhism being one. Just looking at the redemption part of ROTJ adds a bit of Christianity as well. I'm sure there's some Hinduism and other religions mixed in there too.
The Force from the OT was many many religions all rolled into one.
