Marburg Journal of Religion (September 2004) New Religion Adherents: An Overview of Anglophone Census and Survey Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Unfortunately, an Australian census table correlating religious membership with ethnicity is unavailable without paying a fee, so I was unable to obtain the same kind of figures for Western participation in Asian Religions as I did for New Zealand. |
 | | An important factor influencing the outcome of the religion aspect of the census was that someone decided it would be a fine bit of humor to encourage people to write Jedi Knight in the religion category. |
 | | In a country with a population of 28,000,000, the census recorded 38,000 members of alternative religions, or a participation rate of less than 0.14%. |
