I do not consider Hare Krishna a modern religion. It is sect of an ancient religion. By far the beliefs are pretty standard ancient Vedic views common to the various forms of Hinduism.
Good day to you Shunyadragon, It may be called a sect one one hand, yes. It represents a revival of Vedic orthodoxy. To put in brief KRISHNA is the purpose behind the Vedic enlightenment/Salvation/Liberation ---versus the notion of nirvana. Nirvana is anathema to the Vedic conclusion of spiritual knowledge.
