It would be considered an ideological war from anyone's perspective, not just the Europeans, because it involved a war of ideas, democracy versus Dictatorship, freedom versus government control.
Many wars have been fought for more or less material reasons - seizing of lands, trade wars, etc., which don't involve conflicting ideas or beliefs in any way.
Ideology was only a small part of it. It was good for mobilizing people, nothing more. There were three models in the fight: capitalism, fascism and communism. Soviet communism was as brutal a dictatorship as nazism, but it was considered an ally. It was a fight between powers: the old powers (Britain and France, and in general the western world), a new one searching for its space (Germany) and a third trying to defend itself (soviet Russia). The old European powers decided to defeat the germans, though many people saw the soviets as a bigger threat. In the end, USA and USSR were the only winners.
