That is how Odin was first presented to you. He was 100% presented to the people at that time as having historicity. He had stories explaining his time before man, in higher realms during the time of man, actions on earth in the presence of men, and what he would be up to at the end of time. All just like the god of christianity. Same for believers in the Greek gods during the time when they were commonly believed. Only later was their historicity removed.
It is clear you were first told about Odin by someone who did not believe in Odin. How old were you when you first heard about Odin? What percentage of the people you grew up around believed in Odin? How many hours of instruction about the greatness of Odin and importance of following Odin's ways have you had in your life?
What about Jesus? Were you first told about Jesus by someone who believes in Jesus or doesn't? How old were you when you first heard about Jesus? What percentage of the people you grew up around believed in Jesus? How many hours of instruction about the greatness of Jesus and the importance of following Jesus ways have you had?
