Garðar Ás - retired entrepreneur - is a member of the Ásatrú Association.
“I have been part of the Ásatrúarfélagið* for about 19 years. I joined the movement because I never could understand the Christian religion. Like every Icelander, I was registered in the national Lutheran Church. It was after hearing the bishop, or another representative, on the radio about twenty years ago that I decided to leave the national Church. I had never heard such nonsense and such arrogance come out of a man’s mouth. At that moment, and for that reason, I decided to join the Ásatrúarfélagið, but I had already been thinking about it for a while.”
