Jedi is the most popular alternative religion in the UK

Do you feel lost in life? Looking for a religion to bring purpose and direction to your vapid existence here on Earth? Try being a Jedi. According to a census in the U.K., "Jedi Knight" is the most popular alternative religion to those not-at-all-space-related variations known as Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. More than 390,000 nerds identified themselves as Force and lightsaber enthusiasts … mostly as a bugger-off to the U.K. for asking questions about religion. Sadly, the number of people declaring themselves to be Jedis has dropped thanks to things like Jar Jar Binks and the fact that the original film came out 35 years ago. Still, the Force is strong with these. [Source]
