We live in an Age when it is noble to speak out against Fundamentalisms, but don't necessarily have to put ourselves into a pigeon-hole for the current government or children a 100 years hence.........more to the point, what really happened in WW1 ?!!!! 3 or 7 more years and we may know............

I'm from the States and I have not had the honor of filling out a census form yet (still live at home, thanks Republicans for destroying the economy before graduation) so I'm not sure if they have it on the U.S. one either.

Neither of us believe in a Deaity or Organsied religion and after looking at the Jedi religion website is the nearest to my thoughts. There is no choice for agnostic but I have some thoughts on afterlife etc so that is not a option either. My Son and I have both put JEDI on the 2011 census form .

Cory Doctorow, it must be important. Seriously, why report on something this half-wit tweets? He's about as far removed from reality as it gets. Seems to think companies are evil and out to get everyone for using glue instead of screws. Let's all work for free or give away our products for free, write a book about it and then tour the talk show circuit. *yawn* Wow. Cory Doctorow, it must be important.

However, I keep wondering how hard could it be for politicians to look at religious figures and realise that maybe all these Jedi aren't to be taken seriously.

Too much government money is wasted on religion when people don't need it or want it. So by ticking no religion you allow the government to see just how many non believers there really are and then hopefully the money will go to proper things like policing, schools, health service etc. Hopefully more people will open their eyes and take the census sensibly.
