what is the absolute minimum required to make an idea a religion ?

let me propose that it is that the human is subject to
an intelligent force that brought the human into existence.

without this one minimum platform i do not think any "religion" is a religion but is only a point of view or just a life style choice.

Why would there be a minimum requirement, if you have bought into something only you believe in, wouldn't it be for you enough?

Does animism require this?

i am...

no. that is the minimal required for being.
religion requires at least two things.
the objective and the subjective.
the subjective may "believe anything"
the objective knows that the objective exists with or without the subjective.

you are wrong
my existence is all that is necessary for a religion to exist
