The Jedi Faith

100s of blogs have been alive with news of Umada and Yunyun, aka John Wilkinson and Charlotte Law who marched into the United Nations Building and handed in a letter that lobbies for annual International Day for Tolerance on November 16th to be re-named as "Interstellar Day of Tolerance".

Umada and Yunyun are "members" of the 390,000 British people who declared their religion is the "Jedi Faith" on the form of the UK 2001 Census. This made the Jedi Faith the 4th largest religion in the UK!

My response was to both laugh at and congratulate Umada and Yunyun as well as write an article of what may be the ancestral foundations of this faith, which is far deeper than the Star Wars movies.
