No. Tiw is an Old English name for the God named Tyr in Old Norse. He's effectively the Sky Father (and likely the Allfather before Woden took that title during the Migration Age), and whose domains include Order, Honor, and Justice.

Odin, that damn usurper.
Noo, I only referred to the 'skygod' part ^^, wasn't talking about your personal belief!
Also, you do realize that religions can be atheistic, right?
Well, okay then.

Yes I do, but that is very rare, certainly not in the billions of religions that don't see that.
Of course we can! That is what happens! Religion is an ideology (group of rules/ideas/beliefs) that just received a label. And again.. I wouldn't say that people are stupid if they need a god.
Odin, that damn usurper.
Well, according to some, Tiw stepped down voluntarily after lying to the Fenwolf, and that's when Woden filled the role.
Jainism and Buddhism are primarily non-theistic and they're major religions. Actually, if you take a global view, most religions are indigenous/tribal religions that are primarily animistic and about maintaining good relationships with the local spirits and ancestors. Abrahamic religions and even the Dharmic religions are the exceptions and not the rule.

Yes anything can be a path to so called religion, or what I call, the truth, or Consciousness. But the truth cannot be a religion, religion needs people to believe in, but this is not religion, religion is found within each one of us and nowhere else.

It doesn't matter where religion comes from, there are billions of ideas what religion is or should be, and all are just that, ideas. These ideas became what we call religion, and of course these ideas came from our imagination that we call religion.
Disregarding them simply because they're not mainstream in our parts of the world is hardly an excuse to conflate them with theistic religion. It's just argumentum ad numerum.
That's also, itself, a microcosm for your argument. You're conflating a specific type of religion, perhaps sadly common where you're from, with all religion everywhere. You hyperbolically speak "billions of religions", but continually only ever describe one of them as if it represented them all, when it doesn't. You recognize that there's (not hyperbolically) hundreds of different religions, but how many could you actually name and accurately describe in your own words and off the top of your head?
huh? what is not religion?

Nice words but no substance, your making up excuses for religion, there is no excuse for a imaginary of what we call religion.
Well, I can't hate either way, because Odin's pretty awesome. He's pretty unique when it comes to the leaders of pantheons.Well, according to some, Tiw stepped down voluntarily after lying to the Fenwolf, and that's when Woden filled the role.

Yes but religion is still only a concept and nothing else.
To you.

Life exists without rules; games cannot exist without rules. So real religion is always without rules; only false religion has rules, because false religion is a game.?
