I was talking about religion to a friend of mine whilst watching one of my favourite Star Wars films (The Empire Strikes Back). I was telling her that a few years ago someone set up a website petition (somewhere in Australia, I think) asking readers to join a new religion - Jedi! Apparently there's a certain number of people required to state they belong to Jedi (or whatever takes your fancy) after which it becomes an 'official' religion -which means authorities have to acknowledge it as such.

So in the last census (2001) thousands of people wrote 'Jedi' as their religion. Me included!
