Again, the "pracitioner" - in this case, Obiwan and Luke were present, and Obiwan was a Master - neither corrected him. Also, what non-religion uses terms like "Temples" to describe their holy sites? In Episode 3 (as well as many expanded universe things, but Episode 3 is "Canon" - that's Lucas's word for actual Star Wars stuff) - Anakin enters the "Temple" and kills all the Jedi and the Younglings. It seems very much like a religion to me. Besides, in the real world, Jedi is a recognized "religion" in the UK. -Chad Smith
