Historians and social scientists demonstrate that there was a significant religious dimension to the Cold War and that it mattered. Among the topics are the German protestant debate on politics and theology after the Second World War; Pope Pius XII and the post-war confrontation between Catholicism and communism; the US and the Vatican in Yugoslavia 1945-50; the French Communist Party and the Catholic Church in the early years of the Gaullist Fifth Republic; politics, religion, and human rights in early Cold War Canada 1945-50; and religion and Cold War cinematic propaganda in the 1950s.
