Hell is conflated to mean eternal torment. In actuality it means lack of existence and/or utter destruction.
Yes, religious-myth hell is taught at eternal torture.
There is No conscious life in biblical hell ( temporary grave ) - John 11:12-14; Ecclesiastes 9:5; Psalms 115:17; Psalms 146:4
'utter destruction' comes from the word 'Gehenna '. Gehenna ( often translated in English as hellfire ) was a garbage pit where things were destroyed forever.
So ' Gehenna ' ( Not the grave aka biblical hell ) is a fitting word for the wicked being destroyed forever - Psalms 92:7
Whereas those in biblical hell will be resurrected out of the Bible's temporary grave - Acts of the Apostles 24:15
