*I've died and gone to Valhalla. ;-)*
Ásatrú is the native religion of Northern Europe, back before monotheism came onto the scene. The name Ásatrú means "Faith in the Gods" (Norse Gods that is). I believe that each God is a distinct and independent being, with its own personality and powers. I do not believe that there is a Single Divine Being, of which the various Gods are merely facets or archetypes, but rather that each God is uniquely and wholly a God. So I'd be what is known as a hard-polytheist. I don't have a savior in my religion because there is no need for one. The idea of the "original sin" and that all humans are somehow tainted from birth is not an accepted belief.
I don't seek to convert anyone. I believe that each person must choose whatever religion (of lack there of) that suits them. Ásatrú is not a religion that teaches everyone must follow our Gods or be damned. In fact, the Norse Gods would never punish people for not worshiping them. (And certainly not by casting them into a lake of fire for all eternity.) Ásatrú is not a universal religion, that means we don't think everyone should be an Ásatrúar nor would that be desirable or even possible.

Wes þu, Mike hal! in my view i locate the most inspiring words come from the corpus of our poetry including the triplet "worda ond worca" (words and works) as suggested by ability of the look after to Beowulf, the finished speech is declaring that boasts should be sponsored with action, yet those 3 words always stand out to me. that's between the basics of our conception in honour, duty and have self assurance. It echoes the favourite word you've put on your question, "we are our deeds". also the project from Byrhtnoð to the viking raiders on the conflict of Maldon "Grim guðplega, ær we gofol syllon!" (severe conflict play, earlier we tribute provide). Byrhtnoð replaced into outnumbered over 10 to a million yet he stood, fought and died as a count number of honour and duty. As we've a experience of humour there is always the ever effortless bumper decal slogan "Heathens do it with vast horns!"
