England and Wales
In England and Wales 390,127 people (0.7 percent) stated their religion as Jedi on their 2001 Census forms, surpassing Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism, and making it the fourth largest reported religion in the country. The highest percentages of such responses were typically in cities with high student populations.[10] In the 2001 Census 2.6 percent of the population of Brighton claimed to be Jedi. The percentages of religious affiliations were:
- Christian: 72.0%
- No religion: 14.8%
- Chose not to respond: 7.7%
- Muslim: 3.1%
- Hindu: 1.1%
- Jedi: 0.7%
Read in the news about how the founder of the Jedi Church was assaulted by a man with metal crutches while screaming "DARTH VADER!". The irony of the situation really got me laughing and piqued my curiosity enough to try and find out how true this 'religion' is. Seems like the Jedi faith is strong! It's the 4th largest religion in England and Wales.
