This article explores the cultural production of normative "religion" and pluralism through two technologies whose connections may not be obvious. A 1991 Time magazine devoted to what it called "multiculturalism" highlights the belief in technology's ability to overcome (religious) difference. Attending to the identities remaindered by such production gives us a way of locating and describing subcultural or marginalized religions located outside pluralism's limiting frame. The essay turns from there to investigate the role of secrecy and surveillance in the state's regulation of "religion." From the A-12 warplane to SETI projects, the mutual occulting capacities of the state and the unseen religious conceal the hope invested in the impossibility of the selfhood Time presents as a cultural achievement.]
