Interesting enough, some poll figures I saw this week that show that 20% of people in Britain give "no religion" as their denomination, against only 1% that give "other religion", which presumably includes Paganism. Still over 70% give "Christian" as their religion:

After the last census...what percentage of the population put down Jedi as their religion???Can't think why...it would be tantamount to claiming to be from Krypton or Gallifrey...mind you,I actually met a guy(in his 60s) who believed he was a Time-Lord.

Another 50 years and the muslim faith will probably dominate.

According to the census 2.6% of people in Brighton are Jedi.

It's hard to make judgements or comparisons about other people's beliefs, but there are a few little ways to make sensible assessments. For instance, who would you rather have as an absolute ruler in this country - a Jedi or the pope?

No contest really is it?!
