The two most alike worldviews are Monotheism and Deism. Monotheist believe in One God whom created everything and is involved, whereas a Deist believes in one God, however He does not get involved in His creation. The two most dissimilar worldviews would be a Monotheism and Naturalism. Monotheist believes in One God that is involved (including in creation), however, a Naturalist doesn’t believe in a creator, instead live could and does come from nonliving matter over an extended period of time.

I would say that Judaism and Christianity are the most alike. They both believe in the God of Israel, that the Old Testament is God-breathed, and that a Messiah is the one that brings salvation, Jews just do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that they are still waiting on Him.
The most dissimilar are probably Christianity and Nihilism–primarily because of the origin story and how one believes that life is purposeless and the other believers that everything has a purpose.

Monotheism & Pantheism are most dissimilar – they disagree deeply on God and His nature
Existentialism and Nihilism are most alike – they both lean towards a meaningless life.

Monotheism & Deism both believe in a creator.
Naturalism says matter
is all that exists. Pantheism says matter is an illusion. So they are most dissimilar. -
Existentialism and Nihilism appear to be similar belief systems since both trend towards the meaninglessness of life. The slight difference being the existentialists are free to create their own meaning while the nihilist says nothing matters.
Monotheism and Pantheism are on opposite ends of the spectrum with the prior believing in one God and Creator of the universe and the later believing that God and the universe are the same thing (everything is God).
