Now, Australia is actually taking steps to kill the trend, because it actually has real world consequences.
The Australian census is taken every five years, and 2016 means it is time once again.
The “religion” now has almost as many followers in Australia than several actual religions.
In addition, atheists in Australia want to see this stop, because people who mark Jedi on their census forms are actually counted as religious citizens, making the country appear more religious than it truly is.
