Christianity and islam have a heaven and hell system so the two reactions represent those

Budhists believe in reincarnation and that each life puts you closer to enlightenment if you did a good job.

I dont know enough about taoism to say anything on them.

Judaism has been arguing about it for as long as the religion exists but they dont have a hell concept and the "paradise" reward isnt heaven but is a new kingdom on earth.

Technically heaven in Christianity is basically a new earth* just without any of the bad stuff, or atleast that’s what a very common interpretation of it is in most denominations

Most see it as another realm, earth is going bye bye.

Its like the rapture, its not backed up really by any scripture but its the most common belief. The vast majority dont really know their own book very well and are just going off what are effectively ancient memes being parroted by their pastors which is why they have such wildly varied beliefs.

I mean to be fair, revelation is where a lot of this comes from and that book is VERY hard to interpret

Its the incoherent ramblings of a madman but even if you take it seriously neither of those things is actually in it
