I'm terrified of hell, but would likely never have any level of faith that would be required to avoid it due to my many years as an agnostic.

If there is a god and he created a place of eternal suffering for anyone he didn't like, it seems as likely that he would choose people who denied the materialist reality set out in his work, the cosmos, as that he would condemn people who refused to believe in him based on the best evidence and rationality at their disposal.
