What about Jedi?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_census_phenomenon

Quote:
In Australia more than 70,000 people declared themselves members of the Jedi order in the 2001 census. The Australian Bureau of Statistics issued an official press release[2] in response to media interest on the subject. The ABS announced that any answers that were Jedi-related in the religion question were to be classified as 'not defined' and stressed the social impact of making misleading or false statements on the census. However, an ABS spokesperson said that "further analysis of census responses has been undertaken since the release of census data on 17 June to separately identify the number of Jedi-related responses".[3]

I put down gnostic.

I believe in a combination of Christianity and Buddhism, if that makes sense. Buddhism isn't an actual religion, though. I believe everything is made of one single, conscious energy that vibrates at different levels and directs everything in the verses (uni/duo/multiverses... hard to say these days!); we're all made up of it, as is every thing. I guess that's 'God'.




Several of my cousins are offically 'jedis', as of the last two NZ census'. ;)

Well, I figure that if I think about Star Wars more often than I think about God....

I have to put “atheist” because that's the closest to me but I personally hate that term. It’s become a term to pigeonhole nonreligious people.

To be more precise I’d say that I’m a strong disbeliever when it comes to the notion of a god like the one proposed in the bible. I’m more agnostic when it comes to an impersonal “supreme intellect” type of deity. Whatever that means.

Agnosticism. Big shout-out to my man Thomas Huxley, keeping it real.

I voted for "Christian", even though I am a Roman Catholic.
