Loving life...
So many reasons. More than I could list, and many cannot be explained. I'll try my best though. 
Religion is the organized part of Faith. For me, specifically, Christianity. However, I find religion not as important as the Faith aspect. God gives me strength, gives me hope, and gives me love. That's why it's important. Religion in itself is important I think for encouragement and for fellowship. For meeting with other believers, and for affirmation of beliefs.
I don't know... I'm not doing a very good job of explaining this. It's so hard to try to put into words.

I maintain that if you don't find heaven, then you might as well forget about the truth as well. Heaven is a state of mind which, like resurrection, must be understood in the here and now. If your whole life revolves around finding what is true, then you will find that you are simply moving from one theory or idea to the next, and never actually come upon this elusive truth. If you are seeking this truth out of fear of eternal damnation, then you will never find this heaven of which I speak...

I shouldn't, you shouldn't. It doesn't really matter does it. Does this sound weird come from a Theist here, or what
.Believe in your God(gods) but you don't need some damn religion.
GOD has allowed me to know this
Heaven is not a state of mind nor is resurrection they are literal and real.
but only those that repent forsake sin and are reborn by the HOLY SPIRT believing in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOUR and living in obedence to him will have eternal life in heaven.

thank you and I can only pray for those that will truly believe in LORD JESUS CHRIST
because otherwise there is no hope for them.
Religion isn't just about a mythology. It also entails philosophy, culture, moral obligations, music, literature...
If nothing else, religion is very enjoyable.
So why care about religion can be synonymous with why care about books? (in general)

Because before I was ever born I was chosen to believe in and serve him.
Just over 4 years ago I was reborn by the HOLY SPIRT after living the live of a heathen.
Romans 8
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
the ultimate goal for me is to serve the will of GOD with all obedence and devotion with all my love and soul with a humble heart knowing that without him I would have no life no purpose a truly meaningless existence.

I will admit, this is one question, I don't have an answer for. Is religion important?
I try to worry more about God and less about religion.
Because they want to?

I concur.
Religion is helpful, important, encouraging, and the like... but, at the end of the day, God is essential. Religion... not so much.

Materialism/Animism
God does not exist. Not as a deity anyways. But I do believe in "animate" energy which is that which comprises all things that naturally exist, and has always been and always will be. It is far greater than any man-conceived God. To worship and believe in idols such as God, Satan, Jesus, and The Cross is not necessary for me. To me they are false. Jesus was a real person and a bearer of great wisdom, but Jesus was never the Son of God. Jesus just wanted to be heard, not put on a pedestal to be worshiped. Religion is a path to follow for those who can't find their own.
