There is no such thing as Hell in Judaism, the idea comes directly from the Roman (pagan) concept of Hades.
So the proper question would be: Why are so many Pageo-Christians still believing in Hell? What does the festival of fertility, full of rabbits and eggs to symbolize sex, have to do with Jesus being killed by Romans? Why does the birth of Jesus fall on the winter solistice when the Roman census records show that that year were taken in August? Did somebody play a practical joke on Joseph and tell him that he had to travel from Nazareth to his home town Bethleham to be counted for the census, when the Romans didn't require people to do so and it would have been a clusterF--- if they did?
Oh wait, the Jewish messiah had to be born in Bethleham (the same city as King David) and followers of Jesus of Nazareth had to put his birth there. Answered my own question.
