White supremacists make up only a small portion of Asatruars, and most inmates who follow the religion do not use it to push hate-filled, violent agendas, she said.
Asatru - it's a religion of peace.

No, it's not. but then, it doesn't claim to be. Asatru is a religion of *honor.* However, as with allr eligions, there's the whackadoodle subset, largley known as "Odinists." These are you straight-out-of-central-casting white supremecists who consider themselves "warriors."
The rest of the Asatruar both desise these types and laugh at them for importing Middel Eatern wackiness into the North belief system. The texts and lore of Asatru, the myths and sagas from the 9th through 12th centuries, are quite clear on the idea of "racial mixing" as a fully accepted practice.
Many "Odinists" are to Asatru what Satanists are to Christianity.
