"Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you." -Qui-Gon

In SW, the Force is in everything and everyone because all life has a symbiotic relationship with a microscopic sentient life form. Those that have more within them have a greater potential to achieve greater feats. Jedi and Sith are not the only two “religions” that developed around the Force, they’re just the two that have had the biggest impact on the galaxy.

It’s like if everyone is born with a gun but the Jedi seek out those born with a bazooka and make that power/responsibility a faith. It’s not so much making a faith of gun maintenance as it is making a faith of when/where/how one uses their gun.
