Yes... people are looking at it from a monotheistic (one god) point of view. Sovngarde is indeed based on Valhalla... as I understand it, it's name is associated with the word valour.

The Vikings had a polytheistic (several gods) religion...

Can anyone confirm to me that they believed the sky was held up by four gods called North, South, East and West? All I know (From the danish legends I have heard) is that the sky supposedly was made from the skull of an amazing giant, notably the first being in existence, named Ymer, who a godrace (Appropriately named Gods) slew, after being created from a stone which Ymer's pet cow was licking on... I think.
