According to the diligent research and careful statistics of Insider Monkey, Asatru is the most sexually liberated religion out there. It put me in mind of some of our discussion of medieval Icelandic ideas about sex and gender as presented in Eyrbyggja saga.
From a piece summarizing Insider Monkey's conclusions:
"Now we have got to the first place that is given to Asatru. Asatru has also been established recently, as a pagan religion. It also appears to be one of the most sexually liberated churches and religions. It is about liberty, tolerance and peace without any missionaries, dogmas, saints or restrictions. It makes a stand for LGBT rights, which are accepted in this religion. [T]hat’s why they get hate mail from Neopagans."

I can only imagine they only really looked at Iceland or someplace similar. Think some of the Brosatru's heads would explode at seeing themselves described this way. 🙃

Fought through all the pop ups and such and checked a few of their source links, and they are in fact talking about Ásatrúarfélagið in Iceland. The Neopagans sending hate mail are referenced in this piece:
