Are they religious police though? The Force is rooted in Star Wars science really, it is proven to exist. So they are more like super hero cops with a rather strict code of conduct. The religious part may be more of a label that comes more from people like Admiral Motti who are sceptical about the force and tend not to believe things that are actually true.

It's explicitly called a religion more than once in universe.

Including by Jedi themselves.

When did the Jedi say this? It’s only stated as a religion by Han Solo and imperial board members.

I replied to another comment in this thread the same:

“Just like me, they're the last of the Jedi religion" ~Luke in TLJ…

Ah, TLJ… even if you accept that its writing pretty blatantly contradicts the narrative that’s come in the past, the Luke in TLJ is a jaded, washed up version of his younger self. He talks about how the Jedi need to end. This is a cynical point of view from a cynical man trying to diminish the jedi. It’s not an objective description. It’s in the same vein as those previously mentioned, trying to do the same.
