Just a little bit of trivia. The 2001 Census in Australia had a significant group of people who responded to the question of religion with the answer Jedi or Jedi Knight. Unfortunately the Australian Bureau of Statistics is a bit fuddy duddy about the issue as they see it as a trivialisation of the question rather than as a serious sociological (not necessarily religious) response by certain sections of the community, otherwise we might have had a complete profile of said ubergeeks. One small point is that the question on religion is the only voluntary (or optional as the ABS puts it) question in the form.
