I can say there is no empirical evidence to suggest that aliens exist in Area 51. Seems absurd to suggest otherwise.

I actually do hope real aliens look like that because it's too cool lol
Haha looks worse for wear after Emily Blunt/Rita Vrataski got through with it.
No idea how those utter wankers on News Nation justify their existence though. Paycheques, of course.

Because we never had an official state religion, we had no coercive religion to rebel against. Religion has mostly been a social networking phenomenon. I’ve only met a few people in 80 years who were interested in theology.

Wasn’t what became the US populated in part by religious refugees escaping disadvantage/oppression at home? I always assumed that was a factor in the difference in religious fervor between the US and here in Australia.
Only right at the start I think and a lot of them didn't make it through the first winter.
Mostly it was Protestants from what is now Germany and Holland, and Catholics from Ireland and Italy. But they weren't escaping religious persecution. They were economic migrants.

Oh, in terms of musician-religions... there was once, on the early internet, a Church of Kylie Minogue's Bottom.
Just please don't ask me why I know this.

Oddly enough I've got a musician pal, who used to put "Jedi".
Yes, he's a big Star Wars fan.
More of a Dune fan myself, so might have to go for Wandering Zensunni.
''In England and Wales, 390,127 people (almost 0.8%) stated their religion as Jedi on their 2001 census forms, surpassing Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism, and making it the fourth-largest reported religion in the country. In the 2001 census, 2.6% of the population of Brighton claimed to be Jedi. The percentages of religious affiliations were:
- Christian: 70%
- No religion: 16%
- Chose not to respond: 7.8%
- Muslim: 3.1%
- Hindu: 2.1%
- Jedi: 0.7%
Jedi Knight was assigned its own code in England and Wales for census processing, numbered 896.
John Pullinger, director of reporting and analysis for the census, noted that many people who would otherwise not have completed a census form did so solely to record themselves as Jedi, so this joke helped to improve the quality of the census.
The Office for National Statistics revealed the total figure in a press release entitled "390,000 Jedi there are"'
