I don't think it works like that. When your average Joe hears "Most people will be tormented in Hell. You probably wil, too.", that's not going to comfort them.

I think a lot of religious people acknowledge punishments like hell but they don't consider it enough when it comes to themselves. Like as long as they believe and follow the teachings for the most part, which they would if they were religious people, they're saved and can gain comfort from religion.

You're probably right. Still, in some religions you need to do ridiculous things or else you will go to Hell, and in Christianity I realized saying one certain sentence could damn you to Hell with no way out. Having those kind of things on your mind isn't very comforting, I think (Mostly for the first one).
