Aryan beliefs changed over the centuries, and depended a lot on the indigenous cultures they encountered and mingled with as they spread. The Vedas may provide our best clue of early Aryan beliefs, but no doubt earlier Aryans were more ritualistic. On the eastern end of Aryan expansion, they were influenced greatly by Shaivism, which may have begun in the Indus civilization. They eventually became Hindus. In Europe, they followed various flavors of paganism, nature worship, mother goddess worship, druidism, etc. until they were Romanized and Christianized. In Iran the Aryans became Zoroastrian, Manichean, Buddhist, and eventually Muslim.
But if you're looking for what "pure" Aryans believe, you're out of luck, because there's no such thing. Aryan blood is mixed and 100% human, like everyone else's. We all come from Africa if you go back far enough, and only then by way of aliens.

First of all How do U know about Aryans ?
The decedents of Aryans are currently in Pakistan - Also towards India - Kashmir. History shows that they were quite civilized. Latterly they became Buddhists and then Muslim as we all know ! But before Buddhism it was several religions which depended on the tribal attributes - there definitely was a tribe called the Lions (father of first king in Sri Lanka) Quite possible they were following Brahmanism and a few Pagan rituals !

Err!!!
Aryans as in German Nazis were Christians ( Theywere not Jews or Muslims).
Aryans were groups of ppl who spread to different regions a long long time ago.
Aryans in India practiced Vedic religion, which is called Hinduism, and practiced in its original form there although the name hinduism was given by Arabs. Also, Zoroastrianism is also a religion from Aryan times, although there are few Parsis left in the world now. Both religions are way way older then Christianity and Islam.
I believe lots of them converted to different religions, spectrum spreading right from satanism to Catholic Christianity.

There is no particular religion associated with Aryans. This word has a complex history, and means several different things. Read a bit about it here.

Are you talking Nazi Aryans? Or the ancient Aryans who inhabited India back in the second millenium BC?

Zoroastrianism.
Currently, it is mostly Muslim, but there are Jews & Christians in Iran.
Iran literally translates to "Land of Aryans," but you already knew that, didn't you?
