You have clearly never met alcina2 (or indeed her firend "darkside_doris") who is a Sith realist. You couldn't make this shit up. Or perhaps that is precisely the point...
Hmmm see this is quite odd. Jedi is simply one perception of a religion that would (if Star wars mythology is to be fully translated to the real world) believes in 'The Force'. The Sith is also a similarly focused religion, as are the Nightsisters (force 'witches'). So, we have: The Jedi (or Christians) the Sith (Satanists) Nightsisters (wierd cultists - Scientology?)
So surely belief in the force itself is also a religion (as a parallel God = the Force)
Of course any single sect can come up with a different name (Hell, Daoists would just equate the Force to Dao)
How many religions do you want to split the star wars mythos into?
Jedi and Sith are two subgroups within the same religion. Both make use of the Force just for different ends. If a Jedi becomes a Sith they do not change religion.
