this is really overstated. the golden age of religion, when it was reaching its mature form (monotheism), just happened to coincide with the Heebs.
the same way that Baroque music is synonymous w/ Germany ca 1600s, ancient middle East is synonymous with the most advanced forms of religion.
Jews were religion specialists in the same way Persians were rug specialists, etc. it's what they did.
half the shit in the Torah isn't even original and was bastardized from other traditions that go back even further than the Jews. the Jews just put it all together and perfected the 'form'.
