    Except for quite a lot of them the reward have nothing in common with good or evil, some believe in predestination, some just require faith. And it’s even before we get to their praxis

    Most Christian and Islamic branches. Traditional Judaism as well though watered down.

    For me the concept of vague, mutable, contradictory and unverifable “test” is incredibly cruel.

    It’s mostly praying to god, and if you’re rich give your money to the poor. Not the most complex material

    Which ones do you mean?

    Branches like Christian universalism.

      Up and including suffering genocide.

      Isn’t that just a collection of tiny sects?

        Everything is relative to reward.

        One amongst the denizens of Hell who had led a life of ease and plenty amongst the people of the world would be made to dip in Fire only once on the Day of Resurrection and then it would be said to him: O, son of Adam, did you find any comfort, did you happen to get any material blessing? He would say: By Allah, no, my Lord.

        And then that person from amongst the persons of the world be brought who had led the most miserable life (in the world) from amongst the inmates of Paradise. and he would be made to dip once in Paradise and it would be said to him. 0, son of Adam, did you face, any hardship? Or had any distress fallen to your lot? And he would say: By Allah, no, 0 my Lord, never did I face any hardship or experience any distress.

        Isn’t that just a collection of tiny sects?

        Of the major Arbrahamic faiths yes. There’s also different religions such as the Druze which believe that instead of hell there’s reincarnation which is more of an in-between path.
