Vikings had a polytheistic society. They had many gods, such as [[Tyr]], [[Odin]], [[Thor]], and [[Freya]].  Stories about these gods are now called Norse Myths. Many Vikings violently opposed [[Christianity]], but for the most part eventually succumbed to it, both through persuasion and violent force.
