Polytheism. This means many gods, one for each aspect of life. They both had a high god - Romans had Jupiter (a development from Janus - Janus-pater, ie Janus the Father, later corrupted to Jupiter). Greeks had Zeus. The two religions recognised that their gods, even though they had different names, were the same, and gave them due respect. It was not until the advent of Judaism and its offshoots Christianity and Islam that religious differences became significant, claiming supremacy, and war and killings in the name of religion emerged.
