Abstract

The paper focuses on the features that have influenced the current religious landscape of Estonia, considered to be one of the most secularised countries in the world, and its “special path” to secularisation. To explain the irregularities demonstrated by sociological surveys, the paper argues for a situational and inclinational approach to the study of (non-)religiosity as the majority of religious phenomena remain outside the conventional frames of religious commitment that are centred on religious belief and belonging.
