Christianity does not own a patent on emotional blackmail. Muslims use hell as a threat too. And even Buddhists and Hindus believe in reincarnation where if you do bad in life you come back as a lower life.

Jews like to claim now they don't believe in hell, but their Yahweh deity still is not kind to dissent, regardless of what followers think happens after death.

The motif of punishment/reward in religion has existed as a mythology worldwide in some form in our entire species history.
