The Sumerians and Babylonians lived in the same general area (mostly modern day Iraq), but at different times. Babylon was a small city while the Sumerians ruled from Ur, so it was to some extent the same for several hundred years, though with different local beliefs. The Sumerians were first and had a pantheon of various kinds of gods, and the Babylonians came after and had a similar pantheon of gods, some with different names but serving the same functions. Very much like the Greek and Roman religions. One of the first written stories was the story of Gilgamesh and describes gods - the elements of the story were Sumerian but probably first told in complete form by the Babylonians.
