| TOKEUP DEFECTOR | Hey Skinner Is this really the offical religon of Norway and what did you say about Odin? Ásatrú (Icelandic "Æsir faith") is a new religious movement which is attempting to revive the pre-Christian Viking Age Norse religion as described in the Eddas. Ásatrú was established in the 1960s and early 1970s in Iceland, by the Íslenska Ásatrúarfélagið an organization founded by Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson. Ásatrú was recognized as an official religion by the governments of Iceland (in 1973), Denmark (in 2003) and Norway. The United States government does not officially endorse or recognize any religious group; however, numerous Ásatrú groups have been granted nonprofit religious status going back to the 1970s. |

The national religion is christianity (protestant), after Olav the holy introduced it somewhere around 1000 a.d. Whoever continued worshipping the old gods was killed...easy as that. There are still some nutcases who worship Odin, but it's more like a joke than serious worshipping. | ||||
