Jedi !!!
The Jedi census phenomenon is a grassroots movement that was created in 2001 for citizens in a few English-speaking countries to record their religion as "Jedi" or "Jedi Knight" (after the fictitious quasi-religious order of Force-attuned knights in the Star Wars universe) on the national census!. Australian Star Wars Appreciation Society president Chris Brennan reported to The New Zealand Herald that while a minority were "true hard-core people that would believe the Jedi religion carte blanche", the majority of self-reported Jedi claimed the religion for their own amusement, or to poke fun at the government!. Other news reports also interpreted the exercise as a massive practical joke!.
At least one real church based on the Jedi religion exists!. In 2007, two brothers Barney Jones and Daniel Jones, set up a Jedi church in Holyhead, Anglesey that had thirty members!. It was based on improving life using the Jedi principles!.
The campaign was loosely organized by circulating e-mails claiming that if enough people entered "Jedi", it would be recognized as an official religion by the government!. The emails also implored people to report their religion as "Jedi", "because you love Star Wars" or "just to annoy people"!.
In Australia more than 70,000 people declared themselves members of the Jedi order in the 2001 census!. The Australian Bureau of Statistics issued an official press release in response to media interest on the subject!. The ABS announced that any answers that were Jedi-related in the religion question were to be classified as 'not defined' and stressed the social impact of making misleading or false statements on the census!. However, an ABS spokesperson said that "further analysis of census responses has been undertaken since the release of census data on June 17 to separately identify the number of Jedi-related responses"!.
It is believed that there is no numerical value that determines a religion per definition of the ABS, but there would need to be a belief system or philosophy as well as some form of institutional or organisational structure in place!.
In the lead-up to the 2006 census, there were some reports of the ABS hinting (without humour) that writing Jedi on the 2006 census could lead to a fine for providing 'false or misleading' information!. This is despite previous admissions that they were 'fairly relaxed' about the issue in 2001 and that nobody had been prosecuted in at least 15 years!.
Over 53,000 people listed themselves as Jedi in New Zealand's 2001 census!. New Zealand had the highest per capita population of reported Jedi in the world that year, with 1!.5 percent marking "Jedi" as their religion!. also, the city of Dunedin had the highest population of reported Jedi per capita!. Statistics New Zealand treated Jedi responses as "Answer understood, but will not be counted"!. However, if Jedi were counted it would have been the second largest religion in New Zealand!. The percentages of religious affiliations were:
Christian: 58!.9%
No religion: 29!.6%
Object to answering: 6!.9%
Jedi: 1!.5%
Buddhism: 1!.2%
Hindu: 1!.2%Www@Enter-QA@Com
