Maybe this will be unpopular, but Hell is not that bad of a place. In my opinion, Hell is exactly what many people on earth are asking for.

Many people I know who dislike religion say that if there is a god, they wish he would leave them alone. They want to live in a world where god does not exist.

This is what Hell is. Hell is simply a place where god is not, completely separate from god and his influence.

The reason Christianity describes Hell as a place of suffering is because god is the sole source of good in the universe. So Hell, a place without god, is a place without any good.

On the other hand there's atheists like Terry Pratchett who described himself as “rather angry with God for not existing".
