I like how aside from the "Sith cult" so to speak, the SW universe is very religion-lite.
Interesting, I personally see it the other way round:

The Jedis are like a religious fundamentalist group with a strict code to submit to while the Sith code is all about self-empowerment (at any costs, with no regard for others).

The Sith are very cult-ish. There are even sects of non-force users in the SW universe who are Sith cultists.

"The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion." - General Tarkin

"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient Jedi religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you enough clairvoyance to find the rebels' hidden fortress". - Admiral Motti

"I find your lack of faith disturbing". - Darth Vader

Right after that last line, doesn't Vader choke someone out using The Force?

A religion that is proven is not a religion because it no longer requires faith.

Sorry, but not the definition of religion. Not sure where you are getting that from.

Then clearly most fantasy settings, such as Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk, don't have religions.

I personally follow Nysos, god of blood and bodily fluids. And yes, those fluids.
Favorite Star Wars quotes:
1. Darth Baras: A blind, deaf, comatose, lobotomy patient could feel my anger right now!!!
2. HK-47: Dammit master I am an assassination droid not a dictionary!
