It is both because of the soviet occupation as well as, quite ironically enough, the reaction to it and their independence.

The soviets endorsed state atheism, but the official orthodox church in Estonia was in rurn sponsored by the soviets. Most Estonians associate the orthodox church with Russia and the soviet union which they do not like

Alongside this, the baltics have a severe "we really want to be western" problem which has made them by and large latch onto western degenerate behavior in an attempt to reject the ussr and Russia. Which has caused them to reject religion in general. Ironically the most Christian baltic area is the one that was "established" as a soviet exclave, kaliningrad.

But this has failed. If you go to talinn or Riga, you see the beauty of the city and its livelihood, and then you travel right outside and see the dilapidated infrastructure of the soviet union that pock marks the entire region. A time of great repression but also a time when these nations could produce anything at all. In a desperate bid to remove themselves from the influence of their eastern neighbors, they have lost any semblance of autonomy whatsoever, their infrastructure, their religion, and their way of life. They have traded being soviet polities with being western ones.
