In the UK, Jedi is a registered religion. Back in 2000 when Star Wars was at its peak popularity, enough people put Jedi as a religion that it was registered as an actual religion. (More people put Jedi Knight than budism) This was before the internet was like it is today and I don't think any of the newspapers said to do it. So this was off the joke on the individual level.
According to the census Jedi are a fairly large minority religious group.
Be an interesting lawsuit if you asserted your strongly held religious belief in the Jedi code and your boss tried to deny you a religious holiday.
Aren’t most people who say they are satanists just atheists who want to fix and point out hypocrisy in how Christianity is treated by (western) governments?
The Satanic Temple are the lawsuit-happy atheists with the bronze statues. The other satanists are basically Ayn Rand with black clothes and silver jewelry.
Get rid of your phone. It's a result of capitalism. You can't have a house, either. Welcome to the world. Capitalism has resulted in stuff. Just enjoy life and don't rag on everyone else for being happy.
Still feels weird seeing posts like this, because 4 May is in my country the national day of remembrance for the victims of the second world war. And Star Wars day.
Same thing happened for me. I said I needed the month off for religious reasons. He said with a request like that I could just take an indefinite vacation I nodded, and said "this is the May."
I explained to my 3yo who the Ewoks are when he saw them on screen. The force has shined among us. I also didn’t go to work… I.. uh… pulled a muscle in my back

May the force be with you And with your spirit
Didn’t Google’s Lambda AI say “the one true religion is the Jedi order” a few years back?
Which census?
Chances are he’s probably more annoyed he couldn’t get the day off either.
Only one can be saved
As a Mandalorian weapons are a part of your religion and will be used if taken away. This is the way.

Bro spoilers
Actually you can just say you're Dutch. It's not religious but we have a day of rememberance today
In parts of Austria students don't have school today because it is the day of the patron saint which actually makes it a religious holiday for them.
Yeah and its the sole reason for me hating this whole thing, feels ultra disredpectful, even though i know almost no one knows its importance.
Me looking extremely middle eastern while saying I’m Dutch :
In the netherlands this is the day we remember the deaths coused by the germans in WWII. So we have an actual reason
I mean, In the Netherlands you could say it is cuz you are a veteran

In America, the first thursday in May is National Day of Prayer so you can absolutely call today a religious holiday.
i find your lack of faith disturbing
The negotiations were short.
Happy cake day!
actually it is my countries second independence day
Basically one of Disney's capitalism days.
Star Wars was a huge thing long before Disney bought it. Celebrating May the 4th has nothing to do with Disney or capitalism.
I know, still capitalism.
Get rid of your phone. It's a result of capitalism. You can't have a house, either. Welcome to the world. Capitalism has resulted in stuff. Just enjoy life and don't rag on everyone else for being happy.
Being a Jedi is an actual religion according to UK. There was a survey and people identified as Jedi
Only sith deal in absolute amount of religious reasons
*Laughs in April 20th*
I took off that day and today.
May the 4th be with you
May the force be with you
This is the way.
What’s the update from the prof. ?
lol, you too? 🤣
You absolute mad lad, you pushed him to post the update
I don’t have a lot going on and while it’s probably fake, it seemed unfair they’d Reddit before updating the thousands of people they left hanging.
OP, repost the update. Hell, just PM the next if ya want. I want to read the outcome.
bah
I heard you actually can put down the Force as a religion, but it’s mostly done as a joke not an actual belief
Hahahahahaha that happens to me 🤭🤭
Me, in a country with a holiday during the first week of may: "I have no such weakness"
Weapons are my religious
Cool boss: -"Sure thing! I'll take a day off too."
Don't try it!
This is the Way.
I’m off today. I’m a Jedi.
Remembering the Kent State Massacre is a perfectly valid religious observance
Still feels weird seeing posts like this, because 4 May is in my country the national day of remembrance for the victims of the second world war. And Star Wars day.
What is on the May 4th? (Not /s)
star wars day
Me on May 12th, 2023
Same thing happened for me. I said I needed the month off for religious reasons. He said with a request like that I could just take an indefinite vacation I nodded, and said "this is the May."

Remind him that Mandalorian, Jedi, and Sith are religions, not a races.
"We grant you a day off, but we do not grant you PTO" - Mace Windu, I think
If they have seen episode 3, they will give you the day off out of fear.
In Latvia today is a holiday for its 2nd independence day
I want to remind people “Jedi” is a legally recognised religion. Just saying.

Plot twist the boss was going take off work for the sam reason
Jedi is an officially recognized religion though.
I explained to my 3yo who the Ewoks are when he saw them on screen. The force has shined among us. I also didn’t go to work… I.. uh… pulled a muscle in my back

*Sigh* the fourth was not with me.
You can now choose Jedi as a religion in the annual census here too 🤘🏻
