I was never afraid of myself. I didn't fear hell. I just said my prayers, went to church, tried to be a good boy, and was confident that I'd get into heaven. Few if anyone ever tried to drill fire and brimstone idea into my head. We were pretty moderate, though we did believe that religion played an important role in beong a good, moral person.
