Amount of Australians listing The Force as their religion is unnervingly large

Every five years the people of Australia are asked to stay home for the night and fill out documents on how they live their lives for the country's census. Seems fair e**ugh. But a new problem has emerged in recent years. An alarming amount of the population have indicated that their official religion is that of George Lucas' definitely fictional Star Wars films: Jediism (https://www.templeofthejediorder.org/).*
Bu supporters of the Don't Mark Yourself As Jedi movement have taken to Twitter to ensure this census joke stops in time for upcoming 2016 census. Good luck, guy.
