本文分析了为什么移民宗教被视为一个有问题的领域，在西欧相比，在美国，它被视为促进适应过程。有人认为，这种差异在于宗教是否能为移民和第二代发挥重要作用，成为融入新社会的桥梁。三个因素至关重要：西欧和美国移民的宗教背景;本土人口的宗教信仰;以及国家和宗教团体之间历史上根深蒂固的关系和安排。
This article analyzes why immigrant religion is viewed as a problematic area in Western Europe in contrast to the United States, where it is seen as facilitating the adaptation process. The difference, it is argued, is anchored in whether or not religion can play a major role for immigrants and the second generation as a bridge to inclusion in the new society. Three factors are critical: the religious backgrounds of immigrants in Western Europe and the United States; the religiosity of the native population; and historically rooted relations and arrangements between the state and religious groups.
