I think it's equally important to those who perceive it that way.
Some people follow a structured religion, I do not.
I follow a code of ethics and live my life in a way that I believe to be basically good...so for me, if that fits into any given religion sure, ok.

I don't know about this...many conflicts have arisen on account of belief systems being challenged or opposed by others.
Just IMO, this would only be correct if there happened to be some kind of universal religion. Which there never will be.
That said, who knows - we've never (at least not for a LONG time) lived in a time where there has been one religion, or no religion.
I think it matters, if it matters to you.
