This is a site that tells about the religion in Australia. About 70,000 filled in their religion on census forms as "Jedi." Probably most of them did it for fun.

The 7 August 2001 Australia and 29 April 2001 United Kingdom censuses have afforded pranksters an opportunity to wreak a little mayhem by messing with the official results. E-mailed incitements to list "Jedi" as one's personal religion began appearing in inboxes in March 2001 with the incentive to do so offered as the living out of one's childhood dream of fighting for interstellar justice, light saber in hand.

Make sure that you put into your report that listing it as your religion under 'other' on the census form will NOT make it an accepted religion on the census.In fact,you can get fined.It was on the news once.

It is (or at least was) big in the UK. Watch the Star Wars movies for a basic understanding of what Jedi are.

How can someone be a follower of a religion that was made up for a movie?

Yes it's real, but I'm not one. It's called jediism. They have a website:
