Slaves were used for everything from construction work to caring for children. Rome, like the entire ancient world was a slave based society. The ancients considered their slaves as their extra arms, and sometimes as their eyes and ears if they needed information.

What religion did the slaves have and did they follow there religion?

The slaves within the boundaries of the Roman empire had the same religion as the Roman citizens. Slavery was a social class, and the lowest on the ladder. Therefore, being a social class, they would have been influenced culturally the same way as citizens. Slaves were not citizens, but followed what the citizens did. The religion of the Roman empire was paganism, therefore the slaves were as well pagans. The only exception would be people from distant lands who were captured and forced to be slaves; in Asia Minor there would have been Christians and Jews, and those religions spread to the Roman empire; people of all social standings--from slaves to aristocrats--would have converted. But, basically, what I'm trying to say, is that the slaves themselves did not have their own religion.
