Regardless of whether you or I consider it important, the fact is that a lot of people the world over do believe in some sort of religion. To give an example of this, according to the CIA factbook around 17% of the world's population is Catholic. Add up the other religions (particularly Christianity, Judaism and Islam), and you will find a massive percentage of the population is religious, even if they don't go to church.
I believe its entirely up to any individual to believe what they want to believe. As long as they keep it to themselves and dont frown on the rest of us for not believing what they believe. Especially when their claims of the supernatural are completely unfounded and unproved. On the other hand.. I cant prove their claims arent true. But surely, it isnt up to me to prove there isnt a God. Its up to them to prove there is..as they are making the claim.
