Can you still be an atheist after this?

Now, now, I would not say "supports" his existence. Just shows that people believed in him and told his story, just like J.C. There are numerous.

That's interesting, what do you accept as support for the existence of historical figures?

If I'm not mistaken, the Edda predates the Bible.

You are mistaken; the only manuscript ever found of the Poetic Edda, the Codex Regius, was not discovered until the 17th century and has been dated back to the late 13th century. So comparing it to the tens of thousands of manuscripts of the New Testament that have been discovered is inappropriate at best.

All this shows is that the Norse had the decency to admit it when their gods went extinct.

No what it shows is that atheists will toss about any ridiculous comparison and hope it sticks.
