The Beatitudes follow that of a Christian religion, where most look to the Bible for guidance and comfort. They believe in trusting Jesus Christ as their savior and that is their only God. The Beatitudes are in the Bible and mold people's morals.
The Greek stories we have read are different; instead of the people praising only one God, there are many gods and goddesses that people turn to in times of trouble or when they need guidance. There is also no certain book such as the Bible that they follow. Instead, the gods actually interact with the people.
The Islamic perception of afterlife is different of the Christian and Jewish perception, as the latter two are quite similar. Islams believe in Allah instead of God. They believe that Allah will determine if a person's good deeds outweigh their bad ones enough to be let into their version of Heaven called Jannah. Christians and Jews believe that if one repents their sins and believes in God, they will be let into Heaven. Islams believe Hell is where one goes if he or she has done bad deeds, while Christians and Jews believe that Hell is satanic and where you go if you don't repent your sins.
Women are more so seen as objects and are not respected. They are considered very inferior to men and are treated badly. They are expected to take care of their household and their men; other than that, they are not considered needed.
