Estonia

Estonia is religiously mixed and largely secular as a country. The dominant religious context is: One of the most secular countries on earth — about 60% non-religious; small Lutheran and Russian Orthodox minorities.

Estonia is largely secular as a national culture, and the deconstructions happening here are concentrated in specific sub-communities rather than the country as a whole. Pick the pillar page that fits the specific tradition you grew up in — Catholic, evangelical, Pentecostal, JW, Orthodox Jewish, or Muslim — the broader country context is comparatively forgiving.

Leaving organized religion in Estonia is, for most people, a private and largely social affair. The wider culture is secular enough that being non-religious is unremarkable, and the cost is mostly inside the immediate family rather than across the community.
