It was their religion. It was important to them the same way yours is important to you (assuming you follow one). Religion created a moral expectation for people to follow, and offers hope to people that their just actions in life will be rewarded in some way. Additionally it offers explanation for things that they could not otherwise understand. This is the role of religion in society.
