You know, I do not consider the Jedi as a religion. To me, The Force is more like a science, in that it's something you have a sense for or not. Imagine if you had an island or remote city where no one could ever hear. Their parents never could, and their parents, and so on. Well, what if someone from another island came over, and they could hear? They would be considered much the same, I imagine, it would be considered mythical or work of the devil, maybe. But to the rest of the world, it's just something that people can do.

As far as their organization goes, I consider them more of a military than a religious thing. True, they meditate and worry about good vs. evil, but I just don't see them as such. I don't know... I think it is a valid point, can be true that it is a religion, but I just see it differently. :)
