Sorry for double-post but just read the article...

 

"About 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi in the 2001 Census for England and Wales. In Scotland the figure was a reported 14,000.

The Office for National Statistics did not recognise it as a separate category, and incorporated followers of Jedi with atheists."

I was one of the 390,000 but didn't know they lumped us in with Athiests.  That's bullsh1t man!  I mean, obviously I don't believe in the force in a true sense (I'm not insane), but I'm not an athiest, I do believe in something... just can't quite define it, and as the force is basically a mix of loads of different eastern philosophies it seemed like a pretty good alternative.  Damn those government statisticians!
