I am referring to the application of divine justice and it's effects on morality.

Although there are the religious wars and what not. But on the small scale level it seems to have done something.

Is a just hell better than a just prison?

When was this golden age in which a universal belief in hell prevented anyone from doing bad things?

Who ever said there was a golden age or that it worked out? Although I will add that the belief in hell kept an awful lot of Christians in line and made nuns deform themselves to prevent being rape bait. Hell has its psychological applications
