Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "爱沙尼亚宗教" in Chinese language version.
The dominant religion in Estonia is Evangelical Lutheranism. Estonians were Christianized by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. During the Reformation, Lutheranism spread, and the church was officially established in Estonia in 1686.
It was not until 1998 that the state's religious policies became tolerant, and by 1990, repressive legislation was annulled.
