What is a system of symbols and rituals?
A system of symbols and rituals can be defined as a religion. Different symbols and rituals are used in the various religions that are found in the world.
Which religions have formal rituals?
I would venture to say all religions have formal rituals. That is part of what gives a religion its identity. Rituals evolve and become obsolete as most religions mature. It is these rituals that often relect the times in which they are practiced. Some religions may be more ritualistic than others but it would be hard to find one with no known rituals. In many cases what one person would call a "ritual" another would call a "sacrament" or even "common practice." A movement may start as a Philosophy, but when rituals are added, it became a religion. Example is Buddhism.

Why are pagan rituals so looked down on?

Are rituals and spirituality connected?
There are no rituals in spirituality. Rituals are connected mostly to cultures and religions. They are based on mythology, on fairy tales. All religions have their own rituals, superstitions, dogmas, and fairy tales, and they advocate them. Unfortunately, they are like a kindergarten that teach children folklore and folktales. Spirituality is a university, we have to graduate beyond religion. Spirituality is not another religion, it is an advanced study, an understanding of who we are, of what God is. Spirituality leads us to self-realization and God-realization. Therefore, there is no connection between rituals and spirituality, except that rituals are part of religion which is a kindergarten of which spirituality is the university.
Are religious rituals important for a true devotee?
It would depend which religion or organization you are referring to. In some religions, rituals are a mainstay or worship. For others, education, evangelizing, or meditation are more important.
