Probably to help preserve it. It's almost pretty much the same with how many modern day fairy tales and myths involving gods are written down in our world.

For example the religious tales of Norse-Germanic and Greco-Roman cultures were turned into stories and cultural myth when europeans were beginning to adopt other Faiths. Rather then having the entire religions and their creeds and history lost, the people just turned them into compelling stories, be it for cultural purposes or some other reason.

The point is many historical religions and their history can get turned into stories and myths, especially when there are no religious followers or practitioners to carry them on and preach them.

Essential it has becomed a way for those religions to stay relevant and alive rather then go extinct.

In fact thanks to those methods many Neo-Pagan Religious Movements have been created to revive the old religions of Europe and in other regions of the world, and their main method in the revival was looking through the stories, myths and fairy tales, their meanings and trying to discover their roots to the Old Faiths/Religions.
