NO. On the contrary, Assyrians were infamous for the barbaric way that they treated peoples that they were conquering and, once conquered, the Assyrians would move large sections of the population to other regions as part of a concrete policy in order to prevent rebellion. Most people had a very localized sense of identity. The current idea that you retain your culture and beliefs when you move from place to place did not exist at that time. As a result, forcibly deporting people also took away their identities and their gods, making them much less likely to rebel. The Assyrians did it to the Arameans, Phoenicians, Israelites, Hattis, Hurrians, and Urartu (who were in their conquest area).

When the Assyrians collected tribute from conquered peoples the empire became stronger because why?
We first hear of the Assyrians around 2300 BC, when Sargon of Akkad invaded their small kingdom to the north which was well-known traders, who traveled constantly between Assur and southern Turkey. When they had war, they took the weapons of the conquered and the value items of the cities. Tribute is monetary benefit conferred for protection. Money causes the receiver of the money to be able to acquire more things. Therefore, paying tribute to Assyria led to a strengthening of the Assyrian Empire.
Did the Israelites have religious freedom under the Assyrians?
It is known that the Assyrians did not concern themselves with the religious beliefs and practices of subject peoples. When the Assyrians conquered Israel, they boasted of taking away the idols and treasures from the temples, but this was because of their value, not because of any attempt to influence religious beliefs. In spite of common opinion today, the people of the northern kingdom of Israel actually were at all times polytheistic. Apart from their national God, YHWH, the Israelite pantheon included many of the same gods as their neighbours, so when the Israelites were dispersed throughout the Assyrian empire they would have assimilated easily into the local cultures.We know that the Assyrians did not concern themselves with the religious beliefs of the conquered peoples.
