'It's against my programming to impersonate a deity.' [C-3PO]

BELIEFS

The opening statement for the Home page clearly lays out the underlying beliefs of the Jedi religious tradition stating that they believe 'that there is one all powerful force that binds all things in the universe together'. The Jedi Church website goes on to state that 'our sense of morality is innate' and even further that the Jedi religion itself is 'something innate inside every one of us'. These are pretty strong claims, although most institutionalised religions hold similar strong statements to be true as part of their belief system.

On a darker not the Jedi Church then goes on to warn against 'the dark side!' (sounds interesting - something which will have to be looked at) and to 'listen to the force within you'.
Despite the ominous warning a rather positive picture is painted. The Jedi religion is portrayed as a religion that can only be described as good and even better for anyone interested in following the Jedi religion it's open to everyone.

The Home page finishes off on the cheerful and positive note that 'The Jedi Church is a good force in the universe'.
yay!! :)
Nothing like the unknown dark side!!!
Mwah Ha ha!!!!!!!
