Why Thursday is called as Thursday?
Zeus is Greek god of the heavens and the supreme Greek god.The right hand man of the supreme God Odin, in Norse mythology, is Thor. Hew was known as the Thunder god, and was responsible for the great thunder and lighting which he created with his mighty hammer. In addition to the atmospherical creations, he also was the god of war and destruction; things that the Anglo Saxons held as grand reasons to live and breathe. Thor's feast day was called aptly: Thor's day. The Anglo-Saxon tongue quickly changed this to Thur's day or Thursday. Thus our name for the day named Thursday. Therefore, when people would pass each other they would say: Happy Thor's day or may the day be blessed by Thor for you and I. That means, if you tell someone happy Thursday, you are actually evoking the god of war and thunder to bless the person you spoke to. Isn't that against certain religious beliefs? Is it ok to keep the day named this? Happy Thur's Day!

What do Anglo Saxons believe in?
That is a too general question. People of Anglo-Saxon descent live all over the world apart from their original country England; and wherever they live on the planet, they have usually adapted to local culture, standards and beliefs over time. In the US alone, people of Anglo-Saxon descent vary from urban socialites with an Ivy League background to redneck rural Tea Party adherents and everything in between. So it totally depends on who they are and where and in what culture they live. The above is based on your using the present tense in your question. Should you mean: "What were the religious beliefs of the ancient Anglo Saxons?" The answer is that we don't exactly know. There is some indication that their supreme god was called Woden, possibly after the Norse supreme god Wodan. And they also believed in a number of supernatural beings like elves and dragons. Their kings often claimed descendancy from one of the gods, often Woden.
