If you believe in hell then you fear it.
To be feared is its raison d'etre.
You might not think your going there but you still fear the concept.
Religion is a fantastically efficient system for controlling simple minded people.
All you have to do is:
1: Convince people there is an afterlife.
2: Convine people that if they are bad they will be punished when dead(Hell)
3: Convince people if they are good they will be rewarded when dead(heavan)
4: provide some sort of 'spiritual' surveylance mechanism(god)
Its perfect, requires no physical proof, all it needs to function is a society of gullible morons and some sort of 'guidelines' as to what good and bad things are, these are widley variable as can be seen by the strange practices of various religions.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
