Our people are by nature tolerant of other beliefs, and leave such choices always up to the individual as opposed to the peer-pressure and fear tactics often found amongst Christianity and Islam. However, it is a general belief that the naturally developed faith of your ancestors and your culture is the one best suited for you. Heathens then, adhere to the ethics, practices, and beliefs developed by their Northern European folk. This religion, though similar to Japanese Shinto, African Voudun, Indian Dharma, Celtic Druidism, and other ethnocentric faiths, is unique to the Germanic experience just as those other faiths are unique to the experiences of their respective peoples.
Modern American media has been catering to our people's archetypal expressions through the current interest in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and other such mythic tales of swords and sorcery. I am glad for this, and hope other folks will get as much "airtime" to show their cultural character as well.
