Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main similarities between Athens and Sparta was that they shared the same religion. They have ceremonies, they have same beliefin God, they have the same myths, somereligion and same festivals. It was a polytheistic religion that was shared by all the city-states ofAncient Greece.
Detailed explanation-2: -East pediment of the Parthenon (reconstruction), Athens, mid 5th c. BCE. Unlike most major religions practiced today, ancient Greek religion was polytheistic (the worship of multiple gods) and inherently hospitable to new gods, ideas, and interpretations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, all the Greeks pretty much worshipped the same gods, but different ones were more popular in each city-state. Perhaps obviously, Athena was very important in Athens. Sparta was a militaristic culture. They emphasized four deities: Apollo, Artemis, Athena and Zeus, representing strength, victory, wisdom and skill.
