Today, the 3 big monotheistic faiths have a common view of the afterlife, inherited from Zarathustra's faith by the Jews, who survived in both Christianity and Islam: there's an heaven where the righteous go, and an hell for the not-so-righteous. But Jews did not always believe in such an afterlife: before being deported to Babylon, the view of the afterlife they had was something similar to the Hades depicted in the Odyssey, a dark place without punishment nor reward, in which everyone went. Could this vision survive, or Judaism would have developed an heaven-and-hell afterlife system in any case, maybe modeled after the Egyptian one? After all, many Psalms are thinly veiled plagiarisms of hymns to Aton, who is even the namesake of the term Adonai. (well, Egyptians had a sort of heaven, but no hell. You simply ceased to exist even in the afterlife). If Christianity, or a similar Judaism-derived faith, emerges, would it have the same success?
