Popis:	This chapter looks at the impact of religion on the political participation of Muslims in Switzerland. We distinguish between two dimensions of the potential impact of religion on participation: an individual dimension concerning individual religiosity and a collective dimension pertaining to collective religious embeddedness. Our analysis shows that the collective dimension matters, while the individual dimension has no effect. We then speculate on the connections between the collective dimension of religion and political participation by drawing from three theoretical perspectives that have stressed the role of voluntary associations for political engagement: the civic voluntarism, the social capital, and the group consciousness perspectives.
