On Roman religion, see M. Beard, J. North, S. Price, Religions of Rome.  
Volume 2.  A Sourcebook (Cambridge Univ. Press, 1998), to be checked against 
J. Linderski's review in Journal of Roman Archaeology 13. 2 (2000) 453-463.

As an introduction to Greek religion, nothing I know of surpasses W. Burkert, 
Greek Religion (Harvard, 1985), though it is not a sourcebook.  

World Eras, a new reference series forthcoming from Gale Publishing intended 
for high-school students, will have volumes dedicated to Greece and Rome, 
with chapters on religion and philosophy.  They may prove useful even to 
undergraduates.
