This is really a nasty post full of racial stereotypes.  Perhaps you 
will make the effort to see the movie , Salvador 
http://www.salvadorfilm.com/english/
or read about  Buenaventura Durruti.
I am Spanish and I am a non-believer and my name is not Maria.

Years ago my youngest sister's then-boyfriend JC (now
husband), a lapsed Catholic Zen Buddhist, took her
back to Spain to meet the family. His mother Maria
(all women in Spain are named Maria; JC has about ten
sisters, all named Maria) was fascinated by my sister
being Jewish. In Spain they don't know much about
Jews, since we were uninvited from Spain by Ferdinand
and Isabella in 1492. 

"Do Jews believe in God?" Maria asked. "Yes they do,"
Sister said, "It's Zen Buddhists who don't believe in
God." (Maria ignored this jab.) "Jews just don't
believe in Jesus," Sister continued. "Madre de Dios!"
Maria said, "not believe in Jesus Christ!? But [and
this last was a statement, not a question] at least
you believe in the Virgin Mary." 

There you have the true face of Spanish Catholicism,
Jesus, Schmeezus, take him or leave him. But his Mom
is not optional.
