In England and Wales, it was accepted as a common Religion answer on the census. But from what I can understand, they tolerate it as a religion now I think...:/

So I wonder what they do. What kinda practices do they do? Like blindfold eachother and throw rocks at them and see if they can block them wth a stick? Hehehe ^^

*tries to use the force*

They really don't say much for Scotland and canada...but this is from Scotland section:

In April 2009, it emerged that eight police officers serving with Scotland's largest police force in Strathclyde listed their official religion as Jedi in voluntary diversity forms. The details were obtained in a Freedom of Information request by Jane's Police Review.

And that's all that's really on wikipedia. XD

Pan is a sweetheart :heart:

Wow that info on Wiki seems alittle bit biased. LIke it's laughing at it and anyone who says that its their religion. But to each his own you know.

The Rastafari movement or Rasta is a monotheistic, new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s.[1][2] Its adherents worship Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, former Emperor of Ethiopia (1930–1936 and 1941–1974), as God incarnate, the Second Advent, and are known as Rastafarians, or Rastas. The movement is sometimes referred to as "Rastafarianism", but this term is considered derogatory and offensive by some Rastas, who dislike being labelled as an "ism".[3]

I did not know that about Hendrix. Thats pretty cool.

Ah thanks Eyria!

I just noticed something....everyone has bright green eyes on their avatar?

The Rastafari movement encompasses themes such as the spiritual use of cannabis[4][5] and the rejection of western society (called Babylon, in reference more to the metaphorical Babylon of Christianity than to the historical Mesopotamian city-state). It proclaims Africa (also "Zion") as the original birthplace of mankind, and embraces various Afrocentric social and political aspirations[4][6], such as the sociopolitical views and teachings of Jamaican publicist, organizer, and black nationalist Marcus Garvey (also often regarded as a prophet).

Rastafari is not a highly organized religion; it is a movement and an ideology. Many Rastas say that it is not a "religion" at all, but a "Way of Life".[7] Most Rastas do not claim any sect or denomination, and thus encourage one another to find faith and inspiration within themselves, although some do identify strongly with one of the "mansions of Rastafari" — the three most prominent of these being the Nyahbinghi, the Bobo Ashanti and the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

The name Rastafari is taken from Ras Tafari, the pre-regnal title of Haile Selassie I, composed of Amharic Ras (literally "Head," an Ethiopian title equivalent to Duke), and Haile Selassie's pre-regnal given name, Tafari. Rastafari are generally distinguished for asserting the doctrine that Haile Selassie I, the former and final Emperor of Ethiopia, is another incarnation of the Christian God, called Jah.[8] They see Haile Selassie I as Jah or Jah Rastafari, who is the second coming of Jesus Christ onto the Earth.

Today, awareness of the Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the world, largely through interest generated by reggae music. The most notable example is Jamaican singer/songwriter Bob Marley (died 1981). By 1997, there were around one million Rastafari faithful worldwide.[9] In the 2001 Jamaican census, 24,020 individuals (less than 1 percent of the population) identified themselves as Rastafarians.[10] Other sources have estimated that, in the 2000s, they formed "about 5 percent of the population" of Jamaica[11], or have conjectured that "there are perhaps as many as 100,000 Rastafarians in Jamaica".[12]
