Estonia has been one of the most secularised countries in Europe according to several researches. Young people affiliate themselves with organised religion even less than older cohorts. My paper looks behind the curtains of secularised mentality. What do young people in Estonia believe? Paper draws on the different researches, such as European Values Study, EUU 2010 (On Life, Faith and Religious Life) and the research project „Religion in Education – A contribution to Dialogue or a factor of Conflict in transforming societies of European Countries“ (REDCo) Funded by the European Commission within the framework of the FP6.

The results reveal multi-layered and non-linear relation between young people’s affiliation and their beliefs. How far the views of non-affiliated could be classified as ‘secular’ or young people with Christian affiliation share Christian beliefs? What are the contextual factors what may contribute to such beliefs? The question of how research can take into consideration seemingly hectic and inconsistent religious views will be explored.
