Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as eternal destinations, the biggest examples of which are [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], whereas religions with reincarnation usually depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations, as is the case in the dharmic religions. Religions typically locate hell in another dimension or under [[Earth]]'s surface. Other afterlife destinations include Heaven, Paradise, Purgatory, Limbo, and the Underworld. | Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as eternal destinations, the biggest examples of which are [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], whereas religions with [[reincarnation]] usually depict a hell as an intermediary period between incarnations, as is the case in the dharmic religions.
