A frivolous email campaign during 2001 to have people record their religion as “Jedi” on the national censuses of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, England, and Whales was surprisingly effective in distorting the census results.
This campaign succeeded in having 70,000 people in Australia record their religion as Jedi, 20,000 in Canada, and 53,000 in New Zealand. In England and Whales 390,000 stated their religion as Jedi, surpassing Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism, and making it the fourth largest reported religion.
