If Jedi is valid as a religion, does that mean Sith is too?

silly

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?

The Jedi were an order of knights, not a religion.

There are always two Sith. Only way in is over some schmuck Darth's dead body.
