Happily, that's a really easy fear to erase: just ask yourself, how much time have you spent being afraid of any other hell? How afraid are you of the muslim hell? Or any number of additional hells that don't belong to a specific religion but have just as much evidence for them as the christian hell?
Chances are, you don't spend any time at all worrying of the eternal punishment of any religion that isn't from your dominant cultural context. Once you realize that, it'll go some way to showing you how little reason you have to be worrying about the christian hell too.
