This is why you formulate your own opinion. If you do the searching and find out that you believe in god, fine--continue on. If you do the searching and genuinely find no good reasons to believe in god, then by proxy you'll find no reason to believe in hell. Or heaven. Or any of it.
I don't worry about being wrong. There is nothing in this world that I've found so far that points to god(s) or anything supernatural. If there was some demonstrable evidence, guess what train I'd be on? There just isn't. Intellectual honesty led to that worldview. And take it from me: I'm not sad about it, my life is wonderful, I don't have a lot but what I have I cherish, and I try to make every moment count. This life isn't a test drive for the afterlife, it's the only one I have. I don't want to waste a minute on something that has no basis in reality.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
