3) A person who follows the pre-Christian religion of Northern Europe, based on [[Norse]] or "[[Viking]]" mythology. This ancient [[religion]] has modern adherents, who use "Asatru" as the formal name for their religion. [[Asatru]] heathens object to Meaning (1), above, as too general, and to Meaning (2) as simply wrong. Asatru is a [[government]]-recognized religion in some of the Scandinavian countries. Estimates of the number of people who follow this religion vary widely, but "several thousand" is a good guess in the [[U.S]].
