In a 2001 census in Australia over 70k people identified Jedi as their religion. The number dropped off slightly in later years but rose again to around 64k in the 2012 version. This is the result of a movement started in 2001 when a group of Star Wars fans began recruiting Australians to their cause.
"If there are enough people in the country, about 10,000, who put down the same religion, it becomes a fully recognized and legal religion" is what the email reads. This means that now Jedi is no longer classified as "no religion" and is now classified as a "Not defined" religion in Australia's government. Whether it's some persons idea of a joke, or just an interesting way of getting back at the government, some people think it's becoming a much bigger problem than originally thought.
The idea that a fictional Jedi order created for books and movies in the Star Wars franchise could actually be considered a real religion is absurd, but fans seem to have figured out a way to make it legitimate, at least figuratively if not literally.
