This article aims to clarify the scope of questions about religion in population censuses, and attempts to explain why such questions were included or left out of censuses taken in different nations and periods. The quantitative aspect is a fundamental question for students of religion interested in knowing where it is possible to rely on statistics about the size of confessional groups and their basic characteristics. A common use of the census in connection with religion has been to create aggregates about the size of different congregations by nation, and to cross-tabulate this with other variables such as gender, occupations, ethnicity, or regions. Enumerations with questions about religion were performed in many countries from the mid-nineteenth century, but questions about religious affiliation never entered the US censuses, and were left out of most censuses in many other countries as is indicated in the map in figure 1. We shall try to clarify how pressure was put on statistical bureaus, parliaments, and governments to promote or hinder the inclusion of questions about religion.

Census 2000 is over; the debate over adjusting the census is not. In
this essay I respond to a number of points from Anderson and
Fienberg (2001) and report some of the results from Census 2000.

Although the 1950 & 1960 censuses were estimated to be between 97 & 98% complete, completeness of coverage varied considerably by age, sex, & color. Thus, undercoverage of nonwhite men between 18 & 40 approached 20%. Several proposals for obtaining a more complete count & reducing diff'ial undercoverage have been tested. Although no claims can be made that they will completely solve the problem, the following coverage-improvement procedures were considered promising & will be used for the 1970 census: (1) Develop address registers in advance of the census as a device for finding all places where people live. Check completeness of the registers at the time of the census. (2) With the assistance of the post office & of local groups, conduct special campaigns to locate persons omitted from household rosters in the regular enumeration. (3) Improve the climate of opinion for census taking through public information programs, employing informal as well as formal COMM networks. Make special efforts to reach groups for which past census coverage has been least satisfactory. (4) Improve conditions for census taking through changes in recruiting, training, supervision, & payment of enumerators. AA.

It is argued that the US Census -- which involves interactions betwen public laws, governmental institutions, & citizens' responses to official inquiries -- is a social fact, but is not, however, an objective measure of all people living within the US borders. Reasons for the inevitable defects in the census count, & attempts by the US Census Bureau to identify the sources of error & estimate their impact are identified. Although it is possible to compensate for sampling errors, the use of census data for policy purposes (economic & political reallocations between groups) has long meant that statistical adjustments to the initial census counts are politically contentious. The reasons underlying this political conflict are explored, & the extent to which it concomitantly stems from causes outside the US is considered. 2 Tables, 63 References.
