Jedi Religious Faith
The Jedi Church believes that there is one all powerful force that
binds all things in the universe together. The Jedi religion is
something innate inside everyone of us, the Jedi Church believes that
our sense of morality is innate. So quiet your mind and listen to the
force within you!
An Official Religion - Census Issues.
Make sure you answer the religion question correctly. The NZ Census
bureau believe that the Jedi answer means "Response outside of scope" or
"Answer understood, but will not be counted", whereas "satanism",
"wican", "yoga" etc are valid answers. The sheer number of people who
entered "Jedi" was a significant in the last census, approximately 20000
in NZ alone (indicative result given confidentially). I note there were
more Jedi's than Assembly of God, or Jehovah's Witnesses.
In order for the Jedi church to grow, we need access to these
statistics just like any other church/order. In the UK the number of
people who answered Jedi, were greater than many other common Christian
denominations. In fact, in the UK, 2% of people in Brighton are of the
Jedi Faith.
It is not against the law to answer Jedi, you are welcome to have any
faith you wish. It is the governments responsibility to accept our
faith and accurately record the statistics.
All Welcome
The Jedi Church recognises that there is one all powerful force that
binds all things in the universe together, and accepts all races and
species from all over the universe as potential members of the religion.

Our church had 21000 unique visitors last month. The Jedi Church is a good force in the universe.
