The concepts of punishment reward in the afterlife are not unique to the Abrahamic monotheisms.
Even in the superstitions of Buddhism and Hinduism, "reincarnation" is the concept of reward becoming a higher form of life, if you do well in your prior life. But if you do bad in this life, you come back as a lower life form.
Evil spirits and underworld concepts existed in polytheism too.
They are all man made mythologies humans made up to explain why good and bad happen to humans.
