In his time, Hegel was called "the Protestant Aquinas", but I rarely hear him talked about as a theologian. Is Hegel's theology still considered an important part of his philosophy or not?

I assume the main reason for this is probably that most modern-day Hegelians are atheists, yet even some atheist Hegelians like Slavoj Zizek (although I'm not sure how seriously he's taken) are apparently also interested in theology. Is there any great significance to Hegel's theological work beyond the purely religious or is it considered to be only of tertiary importance to modern Hegelians?

Yes. His early theological works are extremely important for the history of atheism, while his mature theological works are extremely important for the history of Protestantism.
