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.

Athens :)
As Greeks, their cultures were very similar. Their alliance was for self interest - Sparta aided Athens, and Athens reciprocated.
Both Athens and Sparta provided similar freedoms for their citizens (adult males). In Athens, females had little freedom, and slaves none. In Sparta, women had similar freedom to the males, and serfs had limited freedom, being bound to their land.
