George Lucus the father of a new religion.

A recent Census in the Czech Republic shows that 15,070 of their citizens listed their religion as Star Wars ‘Knights of the Jedi.’ An interesting choice.

Even more interesting, they aren’t the first country to have citizens claiming the Star Wars religion. New Zealand and Great Britain, already list the Jedi Church amongst the formal religion options. In fact, over 390,000 Britons claim that they practiced the religion. There is even a ‘Church of the Jedi’s’ website that further defines the ‘theology’ of the religion:

Well.....kind of funny I guess. In reality the Jedi are essentially Buddhists with maybe the slightest, tiniest little hint of Christianity thrown in but hell.....if they find meaning and a sense of completion from it....go for it.

"Star Wars," the Church says, helped create the religion’s terminology, but it did not create the faith itself.

"The force has always existed and always will," their website reads. "Often references are made to the movies by our members, as a conceptual demonstration of how some might ascribe to the higher levels of a Jedi faith, in a far away land, a long time ago. The fact remains, that these concepts merely reflect a deep held innate morality, that we all have inside us… This morality existed prior to the movies. The movies do not in any way legitimize nor negate the legitimacy of the Jedi Church. They are merely a discussion point."
