Who needs knowledge about religious diversity, and how might it be useful? This chapter reflects on how people’s visible and invisible migration histories matter, to themselves, but also societally. In Norway, a migration background is often connected with also belonging to a religious minority, as is the case for most Catholics and Muslims. Considering recognition and belonging, ancestry and togetherness are key to understanding superdiverse European societies, such as the Norwegian. The superdiversity and simultaneous linguistic lines of division, among both Catholics and Muslims in Norway, as some immigrant communities mature while new migrants arrive, are also discussed. The chapter concludes with a reflection on shared responsibilities, in a plural nation still coming to terms with its diversity.
