Since there's so many Jedi, I'd choose Sith. Gotta keep the Force balanced.

Besides, bad guys get all the chicks.

I'd have a hard time deciding between some variety of Neopaganism, Thelema, and Discordianism, but would probably end up going with Discordianism, just because the Principia Discordia is so damn cool. And you get to be your own Pope!

-Perchance.

P.S. If it had to be a major religion, or not a joke, Deism.

I'd choose to start a cult.

The main principle behind it would be that if people give me all their money and women, I'd let them worship me. This seemed to work well for David Koresh until the government burned down his house, and since this one is government-sponsored, I wouldn't have to worry about that.

Of course, I still would have some worries since one of my major points would have to be the destruction of any government that would pull shit like that.

Something to do with energy would be my pick.

I think the ironic thing concerning this post is that a lot of governments more or less force religion on their citizens. And while some of you sit here and boast of yout uprisings and revolutions, I think history has shown that your efforts will be quite fruitless. That and this government has Big Brother who sees and knows everything. So before you even right one line of your manifesto, he'll be all over you cutting off your boys.

I already have picked. I'm a Unitarian Universalist.
If it came down to more detailed than that however, probably Buddhism.
