To add to the fear of death to manipulate the uneducated and/or fearful masses. Its also used to make people feel better "I hope you burn in Hell" (not you Rayaan, just giving an example)
If you want to know why it was invented, just look at how it is being used, and that is why it was invented.
BTW, we are supposed to consider Hell a man made concept until EVIDENCE is produced to show the contrary... we dont start by the assumptions you suggested. Thats word play. We dont "assume" that Humpty Dumpty is an actualy historical eggman until we have evidence to prove otherwise do we? Of course not, and Hell concepts are no more different than eggman concepts.
