Answer
Yes, Gjellerup's early work had a strong theme of anti-clericalism. This was largely due to his experience with the Danish National Church, which he felt was overly dogmatic and intolerant. As a result, his early work often featured characters who were critical of religion and its institutions. This theme of anti-clericalism would continue throughout Gjellerup's career, though it would eventually become less pronounced.
