The Visibilization of Religious Minorities in Spain

The author presents the increasing visibilization of the multitude of religious possibilities that are currently on offer in Spain and that form such a clear counterpoint to what for centuries was the one and only religion in this country: Catholicism. He proposes a presentation divided into three parts, which analyse the following visibilization factors: 1) The heritage factor, as seen in the multiplication of visible alternatives of all kinds that minority religions put forward; 2) The legal factor, which in Spain divides religious groups into five categories, characterized by differences, inequalities and privileges; 3) The numerical factor, a problematic aspect that relates to the difficulties of religious quantification in Spain, reflective of the complexity of religious identity in this country and the struggle to obtain reliable statistical data.
