Jediism is not a religion, UK Charity Commission rules
The UK Charity Commission has ruled that Jediism, inspired by the Star Wars, "lacks the necessary spiritual" element and is not a religion. The commission said Jediism did not promote "ethical improvement," rejecting a Temple of the Jedi Order application. Jedi believe "in the Force" and know that they will be a part of it forever, according to the temple.
