Largely christian ones Pad, such as the notion of any given Asatruar being a devil worshiper, for example. Not that explaining one's religion to a christian who assumes devil worship is going to change their mind about that...lol. Or, for another example, specifically in the case of Asatru, that they're ethnocentric bigots (or that the religion itself is inherently ethnocentric). This one is pretty hefty, as a couple of Asatru organizations were actually mislabeled as hate groups (most removed from the list but one remains..and probably deserves the classification) due to certain denizens of our federal prison systems use of the term and recon movement.
As far as the particulars of Asatru being identical to any other religion with regards to faith and evidence, yeah, absolutely, it's garbage.
