In this special use, all varieties of English normally use only single quotes, and not double quotes (though some Americans use double quotes even here).
A set of books called Eddas collected the oral traditions of the Odinists. They believe that nature is the manifestation of the divine and that humans are inherently good. Iceland, Denmark, and Norway have officially recognized Odinism as a religion since 1973. Most often those who embrace Odinism are called followers of ÃsatrÃº (and the religion is also sometimes known as Asatru).
