I can’t remember actually seeing these figures before (probably the Alzheimers! ) - anyone else here declare themselves as Jedi Knights in the 2001 census? - I remember the kids being quite impressed that they had become Padawan Learners by default
2001 UK Census
Those of no religion are the 2nd largest belief group, about 3 times as many as all the other (non-Christian)religions altogether. 7,274,290 people said they had “no religion” - though only 10,357 specified that they were atheists.
Jedi Knights had 390,127 followers, and formed a larger group than several of the “major religions” : Jews (259, 927); Sikhs (329, 358);Buddhists (144,453); or minor religions such as Jainism (15,132), Zoroastrianism (3,738) or the Baha’i faith (4,645).
so when do we get to fight off the imperial stormtroopers?
more importantly - where do I pick up my X-wing fighter?
We should all have put down motorcycling as our religion. Then if we were stopped by the police we could claim religious persecution
