The proper plural is "Jediae".

Wait a minute. The government's violating the rules, here! It SHOULD be an official religion now!

Summoned, I come. In Valen's name, I take the place that has been prepared for me. I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey. We stand between the darkness and the light.

K, now I want my friggin belief to be made official!

I dunno about the HOL, but the Sect Of Divine Hard-Light have a few, simple practises:

Ritual smoking of Space-Crack™
Tireless brewing of Bosch B33r™
"Smiteth and flameth thine trolls of yore"
Keep Carl T. Shivan© supplied with fiesty young Virgins™ for 'sacrifice' on his 'altar of divine fondling'
Don't go in the air-vents
Don't call Thunder 'Thunder'....eerrr......

We are a peaceful, simple folk.

Actually the reasons behind this are not due to there being a huge number of fan boys in the UK (although that did help) but was more due to people being unhappy that their was a question on the census asking for everyones religion.

Since the census is an official document (and isn`t anonomous) many brits weren`t happy about a government document stating what religion they followed.

What made this worse was that since BY LAW you have to fill out the census and therefore can`t leave fields blank.

The news got round on the net that some rabid Star Wars fans were planning to put down Jedi as their religion and basically rather than risk a fine everyone who had a problem with that question put down Jedi Knight on the grounds that if enough people put the same nonsense answer the government wouldn`t be able to do anything about it

I was tempted to do the same myself and if I was agnostic I probably would have

Yeah but they didn`t make that clear until much later

Originally a lot of people believed that you were going to have to fill in your religion. Once the census forms actually appeared it became clear that you wouldn`t have to but by that time a large number of people had decided to put Jedi anyway.

EDIT : Something similar happened in New Zealand and I believe that there the religion question did require an answer.

That would be the English you're referring to, then

The rest of us neither play or care about rounders...er, cricket, and good ole Scotland loses to far worse teams than the Ozzies thankyouverymuch.

And when we do lose at footie (which is quite often....), we don't behave like we've got a god given right for all other teams to lie down and surrender in front of us.
