You don't save history because it is true, you save history because you can learn from it. There certainly are lots of pretty stories in all of antiquity both in monotheism and polytheism, but our species fear of being wrong holds us back far more often than not. The bible isn't the only holy writing that is full of shit, they all are, monotheistic and even the more earthy religions people like to cop out to calling "philosophies" like those of Asia.
If any religion were key to evolution we never would have gotten to our current form 200,000 years ago. If any religion were key to evolution, we'd find monuments cockroaches built to their gods. The only thing that proves religion exists is that humans make them up. The universe has never cared about us, it is up to us to care about us.
