Is religion included in human rights because religion is like a spoiled psychopath that has to have its way and wont play without it?

I can't really disagree with your characterization of the nature of religion. Yes, religion is included in human rights but it isn't always defined as freedom of religion rather it is describe as "freedom of conscience" to include even those who have no believe in a divine being who runs the show. Atheists, agnostics, etc are included.


Should religion play a role in animal rights?

No. Animal Rights is typically linked with law, and by extension, a government. Religion should not factor into this at all. Also, beyond the basic Animal Rights topics (such as torture, unnecessary cruelty, etc) religion does not really add anything new to the topic, other than cultural regulations. For example, Hinduism forbids the slaughter of cows, because they are a "holy animal". This, however, is purely a cultural norm, and should not be enforced as a standard practice when it comes to "animal rights" or the law.
