For example comparing the Jedi faith doctrine with Basic Christian doctrine (taken from the Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry, using passages from the Bible) it is possible to draw distinct similarities.
- Both Christianity and the Jedi faith believe in one all powerful, eternal entity.
- Both Christianity and the Jedi faith believe in an opposing evil to this all powerful entity ~ the common element in many religions of 'Good versus Evil'.
With the Jedi faith doctrine being so similar to the major world religious faiths is the Jedi faith possibly being used by people disillusioned with the institutionalised religions as a familiar replacement. Without the enforced doctrine the Jedi faith projected by The Jedi Church website could be seen as an attractive alternative.
Also with the Jedi faith's beliefs being so similar to the major world religious faiths will the Jedi faith be viewed as yet another religion portraying the same message ,which may be overlooked or as a new approach to a set of beliefs which people agree with and follow?
