The answer is: False. The tribes accepted Christianity.

Explanation:

The gradual rise of Germanic Christianity was, at times, voluntary, particularly among groups associated with the Roman Empire. From the 6th century, Germanic tribes were converted (or re-converted from Arianism) by missionaries of the catholic Church.
