I found this interesting. The concept of hell, and trying to avoid it, is driving us insane.

 

Q. What religions believe in hell?

 

A. Specifically, Hell as you refer to it is only described in the Judaeo-Christian family of faiths which are Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

 

All other faiths either have an Underworld or Realm where the dead go or they believe in reincarnation (like Hindu’s)…unless you’re a Buddhist in which case there is a hell but you need to be a pretty horrible person to go there and unlike the other realms you can’t get out of that one.

 

Pagan religions (Old World) typically have an Underworld in their beliefs.

 

Native Americans (both North and South) really don’t have an Underworld as we know it, and instead believe they will remain as spirits or simply don’t care about an afterlife and are instead concerned with the here and now. This also applies to cultures in remote places and maybe Africa, but I don’t claim to have knowledge of traditional African theology.

 

Shinto deceased are thought to become ancestor kami, which is the world for spirit if I remember correctly and the name also applies to their 9 MILLION OR SO GODS.

 

TL;DR: Only Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

Weird, and Christians and Muslims, decend from the Jews. So, hell, is of Jewish origin, but is unique in antiquity. Worrying all your life about where everyone is gonna go after they're dead.

Where we go one, we go all. Makes more sense now.
