Some of the most significant consequences of transnational immigration is growing religious diversity and finding a way to manage it. This article considers the concept of pluralism, the differences in religious pluralism between America and Western Europe occurring due to immigration, as well as the roles and possibilities of immigrant religions in the process of adapting to the host society. The history of immigration, models of immigrant incorporation and adaption, patterns of religious pluralism and types of secularism strongly vary in the aforementioned regions. Religion in America is a positive resource and a basis for incorporating immigrants into American society, their recognition in public life, assimilation and construction of an American identity. By contrast, in Western Europe immigrant religions, particularly Islam, are perceived primarily as an obstacle to incorporating immigrants into European societies and their recognition in the public domain. This is explained mainly by the secularist mindset of European people in general, their uncertain "private" religiosity in the context of "Euro-secularity", the European concept of religion's place in the "private domain", as well as types of state-religion relations and institutional patterns of recognition which differ from America.

This response emphasizes the need to consider the problem of the mismatch of demographic interests of individuals and society as a special case of the problem of social order that has long been known and studied by sociologists. The idea that socialized individuals can behave as they please when participating in the life of society is sociologically naive. The author of the reply proceeds while bearing in mind the notion that society is a self-organizing system, and interprets the demographic transition as a classic example of such self-organization, a spontaneous historically determined response to the imbalance in fertility and mortality. He considers the threat of global depopulation to be a myth, but at the same time recognizes the seriousness of the problem of population decline for many post-transition countries. For them the only solution to this problem may be immigration.
