So, based on zero actual evidence, (((archeologists))) just assert that whatever they find was used for "cult practices", or was a "temple" or some sort of religious device. Maybe it was just a fucking axe, used as an axe, to chop wood. The blade itself looks to be in very good condition, i.e. the edge is not worn or chipped as may occur after prolonged use. Perhaps its previous owner made or acquired a new axe head, but lost it somehow before he had a chance to use it. Maybe it was stolen and stashed somewhere, then the thief was caught and dealt with before he divulged its location? That, of course is speculation, but in a more realistic realm.

Here's a stock photo of bronze age axes of Western Europe: https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/719916/view/europe-bronze-age-axes-from-early-to-late A very similar axe design can be seen 4th from the left. Indeed, this type of axe design was used throughout Europe, from Poland to Scotland.

Nope. They were used for cult practices by their gender fluid religious leaders

Just looks like an axe for chopping wood, nothing special to decorate it or dedicate it to a pagan god. There's still lots of forests there including the last European primeval forest. First thing on anyone's mind would be chop some wood to make a home, boat, bridge, wagon, firewood.
