[HPFGU-OTChatter] Jedi an official UK religion?

[Tandy, Heidi]

It's discussed on snopes2.com - the BEST place for hoax debunking - at
http://www.snopes2.com/religion/jedi.htm
<http://www.snopes2.com/religion/jedi.htm> .
 
As Snopes says, "Marking "Jedi" on a form doesn't make anyone a Jedi any
more than writing "I can fly" will turn that person into a bird. Religious
belief is a matter of what's in your heart, not what you jestingly inscribe
on an official-looking piece of paper."
By the way, Snopes merely deals with various countries here on Earth, not
whatever religion was practiced a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

I maintained that there was an email circulating urging people to 
list their religion as Jedi - it did the rounds in the UK, Australia, 
New Zealand, etc - but that Jedi is definitely not the newest UK 
religion. Even if the right number of people *had* listed themselves 
as Jedi, it wouldn't be accepted because of the census counting 
system. 

So, I'm right, right? Jedi is not an official religion in the UK, or 
anywhere else, for that matter
