It’s remarkable to think of the literary works that we wouldn’t have without this concept.

Agreed.
Btw wiccans dont believe in hell.
Nor does the Jewish community, based on Howard Wolowitz.

There are parts of this world that do in fact seem to be a "hell". Places ravaged by war and natural
disaster with people living in extreme poverty and being subjected to starvation and crime.
And the people living in such places are not "sinners". They did nothing to deserve living in such a state.
The real hell does not seperate the bad from the good. Like a wildfire or a flood it swallows up everything and everyone in site.

What a compassionate god we do have.

Sounds to me as though their religion doesn't have a high regard for reason.

Since when did reason have anything to do with religion?

Maybe I should start my own religion?
I will name my deities Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry.
Strawberry is the Mother Goddess and creator of life, Vanilla is the God of Law and Love who tells us how to to be good, and Chocolate is the God of Evil and Crime who tempts us to the dark side.
It is as read by the prophets Baskin and Robbins!

When if Ron Hubbard can start Scientology on a dollar bet, why not you?

It's what I do best.
In the American Civil War there was a POW camp located in New York called Elmira that was nicknamed "Hellmira" because of the horrible and abusive living conditions that caused many Confederates prisoners imprisoned there to die. They were starved and left to freeze to death out in the snow as they had to sleep in tents, and disease spread rampant among the prisoners. To add insult to injury families would bring their children and pay the guards so that they could watch the prisoners like a big tourist attraction.
Basically it was the Union's version of the Confederate's Andersonville.
War is indeed hell.

You call that hell?
Eisenhower's death camps were hell.
"He" didn't even supply tents and shot relatives and friends who tried to feed the German POWs after the war.
Oh, that's right, they change the designation of the POWs so they wouldn't have to abide by the Geneva convention.

Read about Elmira.

Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that Americans are ALWAYS commiting war crimes and getting away with it while lying about it to their youth. You don't have to remind me.
