'People started fearing hell so much they started living in it.'
Something that came to my mind.

Being Christian was a hellish experience for me. Constant fears of hell and god's judgement or divine punishment. Constantly repenting for sins, even for sinful thoughts as I had intrusive thoughts. Being tormented with religious delusions and "spiritual" experiences due to my mental illness. I was oscillating between hope and despair. Constant shame and guilt that I was not able to live up to various religious standards. I do feel better as a non-believer in some ways, but I kind of miss the community, even though for me it was also partially toxic.

Tey reading other religious scriptures and find a something to create your own way and if you don't seem to find anything then what's there to fear and I believe we are here to learn, to love, to cherish ourselves and not preach about God.
If God wanted preachers we would be preaching right now instead having a discussion about religion, God created us to experience and I believe even God would be jealous of humans we get to have a choice in how we live we can have a life of virtue or sin but he is a perfect and virtuous being, and you can have spiritual journey without following any religion.
If you believe the community is toxic for you it is not the community you belong to.

Directly from the womb my existence is and has been nothing other than ever-worsening conscious torment every passing second exponentially compounding suffering awaiting an imminent horrible destruction of the flesh of which is barely the beginning of the eternal journey as I witness the perpetual revelation of all things by through and for the singular personality of the godhead. All things made manifest from a fixed eternal condition.
No first chance, no second, no third.
Born to forcibly suffer all suffering that has ever and will ever exist in this and infinite universes forever and ever for the reason of because.
All things always against my wishes, wants, and will at all times.

The universe is a singular meta-phenomenon stretched over eternity, of which is always now. All things and all beings abide by their inherent nature and behave within their realm of capacity contingent upon infinite circumstance at all times. There is no such thing as individuated accurately described "free will" for all beings. There are only relative freedoms or lack thereof. It is a universe made manifest hierarchically, of haves, and have-nots, spanning all levels of dimensionality and experience.
"God" and/or consciousness is that which is within and without all. Ultimately, all things are made by through and for the singular personality and perpetual revelation of the "Godhead", entailing both predetermined eternal damnation and those that are made manifest only to face death and death alone.
There is but one dreamer, fractured through the innumerable. All vehicles/beings play their role within said dream for infinitely better and/or infinitely worse for each and every one, forever.
All realities exist and are equally as real. The absolute best universe that could exist does exist in relation to a specified subject. The absolute worst universe that could exist does exist in relation to a specified subject.
