This article focuses on developments of integration policies in Germany, France, and Britain in the 2000s and aims to examine the increasing attention governments draw to religion. In this decade, all three nation states developed new integration strategies that purposefully try to involve religion and faith groups. Faith communities were supposed to make a significant contribution in promoting integration and community cohesion. Are these political strategies a form of instrumentalist use of religion for political purposes or are they more likely a kind of recognition of religion? Further, the article aims at exploring how the respective integration policy varies, along with particular institutional arrangements in different European countries. For this propose the paper conducts a comparison between Germany, France, and Britain. A Weberian institutional analysis is conducted combined with a qualitative content analysis of 48 government or government ordered documents. The results of this research indicate that the way in which governments cooperate with faith communities differs considerably in the three countries and is strongly connected to national institutional arrangements.
