But Temples and Librarys are essential to the growth of the Civilization. Temples give culture plus happiness in most of your cities which lowers your lux. rate (u may need it without temple), give a low chance of your cities revolting and make more happiness which boosts your histograph score. I guess your probably, absolutely, definetly need the libraries but again they help, (i mean help) your science research even though you may not notice it. In every new city during the late Ancient I always start the Temple and then start the Libraries. In my core cities I start on Universities. It may help alot during the Late Medivel and Industrial, especially if maybe you have a small civilization in that time.
