Abstract

[It was a] mistaken belief that if 10,000 did so it would be recognized as an official religion. —A British statistical spokesman on the more than 390,000 people who listed their religion as “Jedi” on 2001 census forms

The fiction of the census is that everyone is in it, and that everyone has one—and only one—extremely clear place. No fractions.

—Benedict Anderson
