Weird news: "Jedi Knights" most popular alternative religion in Britain According to the 2011 census, there are more Jedi than there are Scientologists or Atheists

Britain's 2011 census results just came out: Of the 240,000 people who picked "other religion," almost 74 percent listed themselves as Jedi Knights -- making it the most popular alternative religion in England and Wales.

But the noble Jedi are losing ground, it seems. That number has fallen from 2001, when a campaign helped bring in 390,000 responses. There are still officially more Jedi walking around than there are Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics, Heathens and Scientologists, however.
