威尔·赫伯格（Will Herberg）和奥斯卡·汉德林（Oscar Handlin）的著作阐述了宗教在美国移民生活中所起作用的经典模式，强调了文化的连续性和宗教信仰在移民创伤后的心理益处。尽管这一观点抓住了宗教在大多数移民社区（但不是所有移民）中处于中心地位的一个重要原因，但经典模型并没有解决教堂、犹太教堂、寺庙和清真寺在美国社会中同样重要的社会经济作用。移民教堂或寺庙的建立往往为少数民族社区提供了躲避更广泛社会的敌意和歧视的避难所，以及经济流动和社会认可的机会。反过来，连续的移民浪潮可能塑造了美国宗教机构的性质和内容。
The classical model of the role of religion in the lives of immigrants to the United States, formulated in the writings of Will Herberg and Oscar Handlin, emphasized cultural continuity and the psychological benefits of religious faith following the trauma of immigration. Although this perspective captures an important reason for the centrality of religion in most immigrant communities (but not for all immigrants), the classical model does not address the equally important socioeconomic role of churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques in American society. The creation of an immigrant church or temple often provided ethnic communities with refuge from the hostility and discrimination from the broader society as well as opportunities for economic mobility and social recognition. In turn, the successive waves of immigrants have probably shaped the character as well as the content of American religious institutions.
