Religion

Religion and belief. 

The Viking Age was a period of notable religious change in Scandinavia. Most Vikings were all pagans, with a hatred of the Christian Church.  Almost the entire population of Scandinavia was pagan at the beginning of the Viking Age, but the Vikings had numerous gods for example the two main gods, Odin the god of Valholl, the hall of the slain, where those who died in battle are welcomed by his war-maidens known as Valkyries and Thor the god of thunder, war and farming. By the end of the Viking age most of Scandinavia countries adopted Christianity as their main religion.
