Britain's latest religion
    #945903 -

The recently completed UK Census has discovered a new religion: Jedi Knights.

This is the official line (from the Home Office): "the Census does not provide recognition to any religion in the official statistics nor does it attempt to define religion. The list that you can see ... is merely a list of possible answers that people have been known to put in the box marked religion. As such, Jedi Knight is not officially recognised as a religion."

Code 896 is used to classify Jedi Knights.

A full list of religions in the UK (Look at page 18):

I remember when the census came out and everyone was putting jedi knight as thier religion to see if they could get enough numbers to make it an official religion:D My local radio station here in vancouver canada was trying the same thing when our census came out. It was great.

Yeah, this occured from an email which circulated around our country just before our census. It was just a bit of fun really, but I guess putting Jedi Knight is a bit more interesting than boring Islam, Christianity, blar blar blar etc.

The same circulation happened in Austraia, but the government threatened to fine anyone $1,000 who put that down as their religion as it would have been construed as being false information. Hmmm.
