I don't know how more believers aren't absolutely crippled by worries of hell. They generally seem blissfully confident that they're doing everything just right, when even a particular religion can't agree on what people should do to avoid it; let alone choosing the right one in the first place.
Obviously, I don't want anyone to be crippled by it. I want the idea to stop, and for parents not to fill children's heads with it. I feel like it could/should be considered psychological abuse. At least in some countries, I would expect the damaging effects of this to be well known by now. Of course, religion has them between a rock and a hard place, because they probably consider the harm of not teaching about hell to be worse. What a hideous god they worship. I don't envy their position at all. I just wouldn't have kids, so as not to take the chance.
