I love the tales of the Asean religion I grew up with those while the Norse religion does not have any real moral tenets besides bravery, dying in battle and having alcohol as a holy sacrament the stories still speak of honesty and steadfastness as good traits that and a martial nature..
I'm very interested in Norse mythology! My cousin was teaching it to elementary students at her school. The children each chose the name of a Norse god then had to do research [in an interesting manner] and present it to the other students, who were doing the same. It led to very lively discussions and to this day some of her students wish to be called by their Norse name in class. Martin Luther I could not get interested in, even when I visited Worms and historical sites related to him. I don't know why.
Edited for quote build up.

Buddhists are not poly-theistic. They do not believe in a god at all.

Some Common Misconceptions About Buddhism in America
"Buddhism is a 'pagan' religion"
"Paganism" is usually used to refer to belief in a god or gods other than the normally accepted Christian God. However, Buddhists don't concern themselves about God or god(s). Buddhists concern themselves with the Dharma, which is not a god or gods. It is "truth" or "reality." Thus, when sad or tragic events occur in our lives or the lives of our loved ones - as they inevitably will - Buddhists don't have to ask "Why did this happen?" This is because Buddhists don't hold onto the belief that there is a god "looking out" for his or her welfare. Buddhism is really an attitude of accepting the inevitable changes or impermanence of life, and of being grateful for every moment we are alive.

Welllll... I know what you mean here and why you're trying to simplify it for those trying to be simpletons (probably in jest). But that's not precisely true, either. As you probably know. It depends on the particular Buddhist tradition.
A couple schools don't preclude the idea of a 'god' (beyond Devas). But even their concept of what may be considered analogous to a Christian 'god' is more of the ultimate unifying force or state of being... not necessarily a conscious entity. CERTAINLY not an entity who created man in his image, and perhaps not an entity responsible for creation itself. Pondering creation of this universe is pretty universally viewed by Buddhists as useless or even counter productive.
I've studied this a bit over the last few years. I've been thinking very seriously about the four noble truths, of late.
