Wikipedia tells us that "hell" is described by all these religions:

2 Religious literature & views
2.1 Bahá'í Faith
2.2 Buddhism
2.3 Chinese religions
2.4 Christianity
2.5 Deism
2.6 Greek Mythology
2.7 Hinduism
2.8 Islam
2.9 Japanese religions
2.10 Judaism
2.11 Maya faith
2.12 Norse Mythology
2.13 Taoism
2.14 Unification Church
2.15 Zoroastrianism

So even if you could force yourself to believe in this Jesus character, you'd still be 14:1 against avoiding hell, on the unlikely (silly!) assumption that these are the only options.

The fact that you are living you life in this psychologically induced terror is a very good example against the claim that "moderate" religion is beneficial - evidently its more like child abuse.

Just to clarify, many of the religions in the above list don't subscribe to the type of hell that any of us would recognize. If you read the actual wikipedia article you reference, you would see that the Baha'i Faith, some Buddhist schools, Chinese religions, Hinduism, Judaism, Taoism, and the Unification Church don't believe in eternal (or sometimes even transitory) suffering after death.
