Quote from: nanotm we also filled in the population census in 2001 with the religion status as Jedi
The UK government was actually forced to recognise that as a legitimate releigion because of people like you lol.
Do you get any workplace perks for it? - EG having to go and worship the darkside for the entire shift in the canteen?
(I wonder if you could actually enforce that legally lol)
yeah I know that's why about 2000 people I worked with all filled it out on their census returns not because we actually cared but it let the loonies have legal status and we are big believers in "live how you like so long as it isn't illegal"
from information we received a few months later some 5000 of our colleagues felt similarly and also provided similar information on their returns as well (I should probably point out here that whilst the census data is anonymous ours were distributed and collected through HMAF as we were overseas so they checked them all for completeness and tallied up such nonsense
) now them telling us they read all our forms meant they were breaking the rules so none of us could be reprimanded for it .....in reality I think most people actually followed some form of Christianity all be it agnostically (I still go to church for weddings funerals christenings and remembrance service) for most
the thing with religion is that in some jobs your only allowed to practice on set days and the rest of the time you have to do things in your own time or not at all, then again you don't join up those occupations if your a devout follower of any religion so being forced into worship a few times a year is probably to often for many
