- Abstract
it was not just in the Spanish Civil War itself but also in the assessment of that war across Europe that religious stereotypes assumed a greater level of importance than might initially be assumed with a primarily politically-ideologically aligned interpretation. The attitude of the warring Spanish parties towards religion and the Church was frequently a significant, but most definitely a strongly emotionalizing, factor among the European public as they assessed and evaluated the conflict and its rival parties. The nationalistic camp surrounding General Franco and his supporters in. Europe successfully disseminated the stereotype of an allegedly anticlerical Spanish Republic that was markedly hostile towards religion. By contrast, followers and defenders of the Republic sought fervently, on the one hand, to deconstruct this stereotype and, on the other hand, to establish a very different counter-stereotype, which the nationalists would need to discredit in a religious-confessional respect. Across the entire political and ideological spectrum, the auto-stereotype of a European culture based on»civilised«interaction was shared, in particular, with Christian-based religion and religiosity, whose disregard, or even combatting, was deemed an act of sacrilege.
