The Force Awakens: Thousands of New Converts Join the Church of Jediism

The latest Star Wars installment generates intense interest in Jedi religion.

Listen to the Trumpet Daily radio program that aired on December 14.

The Church of Jediism is experiencing a surge in membership, thanks to the upcoming release of the new Star Wars movie. The religion, which started as a joke, now claims to have more than 250,000 adherents. However, this isn’t just some devout group of fans. The creators of Star Wars made the movie with underlying religious messages that appeal to people of all faiths, hence the movie’s worldwide popularity. Followers are welcome as they are, no matter their background or personal views. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains what true religion is and man’s incredible universe potential.
