Unwise, though. Religious zealots are prone to violence when their beliefs are challenged.

    And in this case, his religion was real.

    Or the midichlorians are real and the religion is not.

    what do you mean? maybe the living force is up to interpretation (religion) and jedi masters like qui-gon jinn had a leg up even on strong users like joda. but the force itself (what motti moked as sorcery and religion) is not really a religion. it is well understood and manipulated with precision, by a select few.

    The Sith are wrong, the Jedi are right. About overall Force philosophy, at least.

    The Sith think that they can make Force give them more and more power, that they can bend it to their will and greed. They can, but in the way a cancer bends a host to its will and steals resources from it.

    The Jedi view themselves as a symbiotic aspect, following the overall will of the Force, and they're (more) right, which is why they could defend the Republic for "a thousand generations" and win in the end.
