To answer your question

1) I am not as certain about religion as being weird as how certain faiths are interpreted to generate weird cultures and reactions...Animistic faiths can range from "eat your enemy to mix their spirit with yours" to "try not to kill the bacteria when you breathe." I admit, I have less pursued modern religions, as I aim to study their origins and older interpretations. For example, The majority interpretation of Christianity in Europe changed 4+ times over Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
2) Sort of a mix of things - Eclectic...range from Nihilistic Absurdism to Pantheistic Paganism/Animism. I guess you can say my religion is that which allows me to appreciate culture and religion, while giving a sense of value and connection to the physical world around me. (And allow for some humor)
3) Not really. Seeing as how most "this is the one right way to go" strategies tend to generate war, bigotry, and poverty-related things. Sort of try promote the ideal of a variety of ideals...though that is a headache...
4) Can't really answer as I was too specivague (so specific that I became vague)...sorry...
5) I am studying them greatly, along with general culture. Hoping to add studies of dance, language, technology, and art/architecture to them eventually...slow process. Look at the Mythology/Culture tabs in my Library.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions! I'm glad someone else likes to study religion as well :) Hinduism and Havism both focus on the point that everyone has their own truths and that there is no right way since it differs per perspective.
I do know of animism, but what is absurdism? Could you tell me more about your beliefs? I'd love to hear about them :)
