How was the life in Athens similar to Sparta?
The citizens of both city-states were warriors - the Spartans full time, the Athenians full time. The Spartans had serfs to support them, the Athenians had slaves. Both had democracies, the Spartans a limited form, the Athenians moved to a radical form. Both were serious about the gods and religious festivals. Their differences lay in other areas - women a basic part of social life in Sparta, in Athens they were kept in virtual purdah; the serfs in Sparta were free, the slaves in Athens were chattels.

What were the differences between religion in ancient Sparta and ancient Athens?
Both cities worshipped the same basic gods and goddesses, but their importance varied. For example, Athena was the goddess of culture, art, music, poetry, and all things creative which were frowned upon in Sparta. Athena was also the patron goddess and protectress of Athens, the city being named for her, and Athens was the only significant rival to Sparta. Of course, she would not have been a favorite goddess in Sparta. Yet, she was a goddess, and it was unwise to disrespect her. Also, Athena was a warrior. Of the major Hellenistic female goddesses, she was the only one depicted with armor and weapons. At least this aspect of Athena's personality may have been admired by the Spartans, or maybe not.
