I would argue that I do believe it's true to me. And it means everything to me that it is true. I just know how to imagine if there is no God (that is to assume the world is exactly the same as it is right now, minus god. And I would still believe there is a god). Unless there is irrevocable evidence that God doesn't exist, then I would be forced to consider otherwise.
Also, if that is how Asatru works, then that is what one must belive in order to practice and define themselves by it. No, unfortunately I don't spot the problem you're trying to communicate there.
