Anyway, I decided to google about this as I was pondering this and stumbled upon this article written by an atheist:

This guy said exactly what has been on my mind all this time. I know when I was a Christian, I didn't act like I was as concerned as I should have been about my loved ones being in eternal danger, even though I'd go out of my way to protect them from real danger.
So I, in a contradictory way, accepted with certainty that hell was eternal and most were going to suffer there eventually, but never acted like I cared enough. And now when I think back, I probably never really believed most of the stuff preached by Christianity but just was never conscious of that fact until near the end of my former faith.
I don't believe so. It is not what the bible teaches
