Примечательно, что как институциональные, так и идеологические аспекты религии стали явными факторами в социальной и политической жизни современных обществ. Возрождение и консолидация религиозных институтов и особенности в социальной и политической жизни современных обществ дали новую возможность изучать религию и религиозность даже в так называемых светских обществах. Балтийское государство Эстония представляет интересный пример четкого понимания религии в ее неинституциональной форме как культурного инструмента для решения обычных проблем человеческого существования в социокультурной среде общества и в неинституциональной и синкретической идиоме духовности. Эта статья направлена на представление широкого обзора религии как культурного инструментария в изучении современной религии, особенно в контексте обществ, которые имеют очень ограниченный опыт работы с институциональными формами религии.
