We review the role of religion in the acceptance and integration of immigrants. Majority groups' religion can exert both a positive and negative effect on tolerance and acceptance of immigrants, depending on the dimension of religiosity and depending on whether immigrants do or do not share the same religious affiliation. Immigrants’ religion can also exert both a positive and negative effect on their integration, by providing a social network and a system of meaning but also potentially facilitating extremism, depending on value conflicts with the majority group and acceptance by the majority group. We conclude by highlighting avenues for future research, including the study of manifestations of religion in the public sphere.

我们回顾了宗教在接纳和融入移民中的作用。多数群体的宗教对移民的容忍度和接受度既可以产生积极影响，也可以产生消极影响，这取决于宗教信仰的维度以及移民是否具有相同的宗教信仰。移民的宗教也可以对他们的融合产生积极和消极的影响，通过提供社会网络和意义系统，但也可能促进极端主义，这取决于与多数群体的价值观冲突和多数群体的接受。最后，我们强调了未来研究的途径，包括研究公共领域的宗教表现。
