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?
