I recently read an interesting article from John Shore about the discussion between an Christian and an Atheist on the topic of Hell guess who won the argument the Atheist and to be fair trying to defend the concept of eternal torment with an god who claims to be the source of all love is wisdom is I find to be impossible.

Yup, the concept of Hell turns multitudes away from the church, Christianity, and God - all so that the True Believer can take comfort in others getting their just desserts, and the T.B., not.
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

Not just the concept of hell but also the Nicolaitanian attitude of the church.
Not to speak about the flat earth theory they held for a long time.
I think it's are several things that add up.
1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved...
John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...
