Which piece of evidence explains the cause of Jediism's similarity to other religious philosophies?

"I will meditate for about 30 minutes, but it's not always the same kind of meditation. So, I don't sit there all the time and just hum. Meditation comes in many forms and that's what I try to teach in the community."

Their creator, the "Star Wars" writer and director George Lucas, seems to have been heavily influenced by real religions and philosophies such as Buddhism, Taoism, Kabbalah and the medieval code of chivalry. This gives verisimilitude to the Jedi religion in the films.

In the run-up to the 2001 United Kingdom (U. K.) census, an email went around encouraging people to record their religion on the form as Jedi, insisting that, if 10,000 people were to do so, Jediism would become a "fully recognized and legal religion." "Do it because you love 'Star Wars' ... or just to annoy people," the email read.

Since the census, various attempts have been made to codify Jedi beliefs into a coherent religion, such as the Church of Jediism, founded by 20-year-old Daniel Jones in 2006 in Anglesey, Wales.
