DESCRIPTION:This talk by Indrek Peedu will focus on some of the complex is
 sues that surface when one attempts to determine the religiosity of people
  in an increasingly secularized society. Once traditional institutionalize
 d religions are no longer adhered to by a significant proportion of the so
 ciety and newer trends and developments are still only in their constantly
  changing\, formative stages\, problems arise with determining what should
  count as religiosity – what kind of a behaviour or discourse should jus
 tify categorizing someone as a representative or as aa supporter of a move
 ment\, a worldview or a practice that is conceptualized as religious?\n\nT
 o analyse such issues\, particular focus will be on the religious situatio
 n in Estonia – a place that is oftentimes called the least religious cou
 ntry in the world. Particular focus will on the debate regarding the appli
 cability of the concept ‘vicarious religion’ (as initially proposed by
  Grace Davie) in contemporary Estonian study of religion. In recent years\
 , the adequacy of this concept to describe Estonians’ ambivalent attitud
 e towards Christianity has been actively discussed. This particularly inte
 resting debate makes it possible to take a closer look at the use of conce
 pts in the study of indeterminate and ambiguous (religious) attitudes and 
 practices. Thus\, in light of the situation in Estonia the talk will parti
 cularly focus on the use and role of concepts in such a research situation
  and thereby on the methodological issues in the study of ‘visible’ an
 d ‘hidden’ aspects of religiosity.
