There are two ways to read your question. One is a plural of Massoret: the tradition as to the text of the Hebrew Bible. In that case your question is inaccurate in its use of the plural, since there is one massoret, not more than one.

(If you meant "traditions" in general, please post your question again, using the English word.)

The other possible reading of your question is "massoretes": the ancient (700-1000 CE) scholars, such as Aaron ben Asher and Aaron ben Naphtali of Tiberias, who labored to ascertain the exact lettering of the text of the Books of the Hebrew prophets, in case any copyists' error had crept into one copy or another.

In either reading of your question, the answer is None. The exactitude, or the handing down, of the text of the Hebrew Bible didn't shape the Jewish religion, it merely preserved the basic text for later generations. The two (shaping and preserving) are not the same. The one who shaped the Jewish religion was God himself.
