The main relgion in Norgsveldet is [[Asatru]] With 60,13% belonging to Asatru temple of Norgsveldet, 55% of those people state they identify with Æsirism, while 45% claiming they identify as following Vanarism. 29% claiming they are nonreligious either as agnostic or atheist. 9% of all Norgsveltians follow an relative new faith that came to Norgsveldet is called Norism, a faith that came to Norgsveldet in the 1800s by an Norgsveltian priest who visited the island of Langeyjr (The island where Tiervan and Dvalheim is), where he tried to convince the natives to follow Asatru. In his attempt he to put an connection between their local religion with Asatru. What instead happened was that priest was converted by the locals and tried to convert the Norgsveltian king to Norism. In that priest attempt he changed the names of places and characters in Norism to make it more acceptable for the king. In the 1900s the same new faith got more and more attention in Norgsveldet. Specialy by scholars. Only 1% of the population follow an movement called the Cult of Loki, officaly not considered as an religion by the Norgsveltian goverment, stating that "cults like these can not be considered as a religion. As they are to dangerous to get the protection of the state". The Cult of Loki is an movement claiming that the god Loki in Asatru is the only good god in in that religion. And all actions of his is justified. Around 0,87% follow a religion called [[Thaerism]]. [[File:High gothi.jpg|right|thumb|150px|High Gothi of Norgsveldet]]

Later on being called Gustafstic Asatru for those who recognise the Norgsveltian monarch as head of the Asatru faith giving him the title of Saint of the Asatru faith, and the ones who rather recognise the Gothirs as the religious leaders of the Asatru faith as Gothiric Asatru. With Gothirs accross Gothiric Asatru chosing the High Gothir of Asatru, as a personal embodiment to counter the Norgsveltian monarch religious authority.

The god Odin is seen as the main god, it is often his son Thor that is frequently prayed to and whorshiped. Which also can be seen with certain people following the religion often wearing [[Wikipedia:Mjölnir|Mjölnir]] as a necklace. In an similare way with the cross being used as necklace. Though not considered diffrent branches in Asatru there exist two type of worshiping in Asatru, Æsirism and Vanarism. In Æsirism the worship of the Æsir gods being put in higher importance then the one of of the Vanir. While the opposite is true with Vanarism. The main god of worship in Vanarism is Njord, while in Æsirism it is Odin. The god Thor is considered to be an god that both type follow, despite Thor being an Æsir god.

In 1950 the seperation between Temple and state happened, while attempt before was made it was not before under the labour party leadership of Agnir Hansen that seperation was succesful. There is however still alot of connection between the Asatru temple and state, more specificaly between the monarch and the temple. The seperation being only between the elected goverment and temple. By Norgsveldet consitution the monarchy must be an fellower of the Asatru faith and it's teachings. The monarch of Norgsveldet is also the de jure head of the Asatru faith, meaning that theoraticaly the Norgsveltian King hold highest religious authority. However most of the religious matter holds with the High Gothi of Norgsveldet. With most religious matters handled by the High Gothi, such as religious events. The High Gothi serves for life and the next succesor is chosen by the monarch.
