Without the advent of the monotheistic religion of Judaism, there would have been no rise of the Christian faith.

Barnabas encouraged the believers in Jerusalem to accept Saul after his conversion by speaking about Saul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus and his subsequent preaching of the gospel. Barnabas vouched for Saul's sincerity and transformation, leading the believers to trust in Saul's newfound faith.
He was the first king.
Saul was the first king of Israel, anointed by the prophet Samuel. He was chosen by the people to lead them, but his reign was marked by disobedience to God, leading to his downfall. Saul's story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of pride and disobedience.
The son of Saul, the first king of Israel, was Jonathan(Isaiah 14:1).There is no record that Saul of Tarsus in the New Testament (aka the apostle Paul) had a literal son, though he refers to Timothy as "my own son in the faith" in 1 Timothy 1:2 (KJV), and to Titus as "mine own son after the common faith" in Titus 1:4 (also KJV. The New King James replaces "my own" with "a true").
After Saul disobeyed in the battle with the Amalekites, his spiritual state was one of disobedience and rebellion against God's commands. This act led to his downfall and eventually losing favor with God. Saul's actions demonstrated a lack of faith and humility before God.

Faith is belief, and without faith there can be no followers, from which it follows that the religion would soon disappear from history. Faith is important to all religions.

God was very important in Davids life as was Bathsheba and Jonathan, Saul's son.
