Refugee flows to Europe often stem from push factors created by European foreign policy. Ongoing research finds that religious minorities have high levels of empathy toward newcomers who share their faith and background. Many of Europe’s Christian churches have a long tradition of anti-nationalism and support for migrants. However, religious nationalist movements often buttress far-right efforts to block refugees. Similarly, secularist narratives often promote humanism, religious indifference, and progressive political ethics, all of which foster warm environments for refugee reception. Assertive secularists, however, feel threatened by even small numbers of religious newcomers and have organized perceived threats in projects against Muslim migration in all forms. Our field is characterized by religious and irreligious populations having multiple avenues toward pluralism and nativism. In this chapter, I explore these mechanisms in religious and secular communities through opinion data and identify structural consequences of migration policies, as shaped by religion.
