This is some of the best reasoning I’ve seen on the subject of hell. I know that I’d never do anything to cause harm to my children, no matter how they ever treated me, or even if they rejected me and hated me forever.
If I’d designed the atheist bus campaign, it would have said:
“There is definitely no hell. Now stop bothering me and enjoy your life.”

The doctrine of hell is the cause of about 95% of what’s wrong with fundamentalism. I admit that I do not know whether any gods exist, but I am certain there is no hell. And if everyone would just realise that hell is imaginary, religious conflict would mostly go away.
