Important in what sense? Religions, in one sense, are more important in the actual lives of people--for the obvious reason that they influence people's lives whether God exists or not. But if God doesn't exist, then much of what religions say is based upon falsehood. Truth is sometimes less important to people's actual lives than falsehood. But don't you think that truth has value in itself--intrinsic value--even if people find it easy or desirable to ignore it? If truth has value apart from what people want or do with it, in that same sense, then, the existence of God is more important than the existence of religion--since religions can exist and even flourish even if most or all of what they proclaim is false.
