That is very interesting — gentiles can get a share in Olam Haba by keeping 7 mitzvot. Most Protestants and Muslims do so.

What I find very fascinating is the fact that Russian Orthodox Christians have a set of rules an order of magnitude stricter then Haredi. Thus militant Atheism was popular in Russia in 1917-1991.

Thus these extra rules caused more harm then good. The non-Jews were not given these challenges for a reason.
