What Is Britain’s Fourth Largest Religion?

If you guessed “Jedi Knight” you wouldn’t be wrong.

With their vast intergalactic knowledge and ability to harness the Force, the task of convincing UN officials to recognise their cause should be a walkover for a pair of Jedi Knights.
But self-proclaimed Jedis Umada and Yunyun, better known as John Wilkinson and Charlotte Law, have adopted a more conventional approach in their pursuit of recognition – delivering a protest letter.
The unconventional pair are calling for the UN to acknowlegde what has become Britain’s fourth largest ‘religion’ with 390,000 followers.
The UN International Day of Tolerance, which takes place annually on November 16, is aimed at emphasising the dangers of intolerance and promoting integration and cohesion across the globe.
Umada, 27, and Yunyun, 24, both from London, want the day to be renamed the ‘Interstellar Day of Tolerance’ to reflect millions of people across the globe who have chosen to follow the Jedi code as a religion and truly reflect social diversity.
For the protest in Whitehall, the couple will wear full Jedi Knight robes and will be accompanied by a host of supporters including Star Wars favourite Chewbacca with a placard reading ‘Tolerance for Jedis’.

390,000 followers.
Unbelievable.
Here’s a photo of the happy couple:

I’m surprised because…er…that chick is actually sort of hot. Not at all what I expected.

    You’d think that someone who takes this seriously enough to carry a sign would know that “Jedi” is its own plural.

    Yea, I am a bit of a Star Wars geek. But not in a religious way.

    It’s not any crazier than any other religion.

    I thought Jedi were not suppose to give into desire and lust. Thats what happened to Darth Vador.

    That’s entertaining, but also rather ridiculous. I wonder if they realize that the entire “religion” was made up by George Lucas? Which, I guess, doesn’t make it any more nutty than Scientology. That’s like me deciding to become a disciple of Aldur or something.

    I loved that Triumph, insult comedy dog who did a piece outside a star wars opening. The people in line were total nerds. It was sooo funny. He got spock to walk through at the end and flip people off. They had a wedding and everyone was doing light saber enactments during the wedding. Quel TOOLS! I recommend it if you can find it on youtube or wherever.
