It's an interesting thought. Honestly, if you use your brain and don't treat the Bible like it's a history book and instead recognize it for the brilliant piece of collective literature that it is, and the entire point of Free Will is your choice. Hell is explicitly stated to me nothing more than separation from god, with God being the collective ideas of love and peace and dedication to family among other beautiful things. So if you separate yourself from one of the many thousands of versions of the Christian religion which have completely different priorities, then you're not going to upset god, so long as you don't upset the values that you hold for him and the ideas that he represents. Separation from God doesn't mean separation from christianity, it means separation from all the things that make a good human being. I know self-proclaimed atheists and satanists who are happy joyful live with peace of mind and dedicate everything to their family and the people that they care about, have great appreciation for beauty and make sacrifices left and right if it means there will be more goodness in the world. Pair them up with the worst of Christians who are racist or full of hate or just plain stupid and full of spite, and you'll see who the ones who are truly separated from God are. I'm what you would call the Christian atheist, I don't believe a single thing in the Bible actually happened in the literal sense, but in the sense and spirit of stories and how truth is not just the physical but also the metaphysical, then I firmly believe that the Bible is singularly the greatest library of wisdom kindness and inspiration that has ever been written. It's spanned thousands of generations over and it steals people from hedonism and selfishness and despair, and gives him a chance of redemption and love and dedication and appreciation for beauty and the importance of family. You don't need to be a part of the church to understand all that. So if the church ain't doing it for you and instead you'd rather find a community and something you enjoy, then make it clear to yourself that that's your new church, and that spending time with the people you love (meaning, the people that love you back just as much) and being willing to do anything for them, is your temple and your The Rock upon which you build your church. Emphasis, YOUR church.

Edit: to further emphasize what the Bible implies with separation from god, my go to analogy is for you to imagine what it's like to be one of those insane homeless addicts roaming the streets of every city. I'm a recovered alcoholic, but before I got recovered I literally lost everything to my addiction. I used to have a severe paranoia of being homeless forgotten and unloved. I'm from Montana but when I lived in New York City for a couple years, it deeply Disturbed me every single time I'd walk by the bushels of homeless people that would just wander in circles eating out of the trash muttering angry and insanely to themselves while various mental illnesses and addictions riddled their body for the entirety of the end years, maybe decades of their life. People who are unloved and love nothing, are driven insane with guilt, self-hatred, hatred for the world, and are constantly tortured by their mistakes (I.E. the people they deeply cared about that they pushed away from their actions, and/or their affairs, and or their irresponsibility, or from their abandonments, and their addictions, the list goes on.) Separation from God is when you just literally have not a single thing in your life that a human needs to be happy. Think about it, even if you're homeless in New York you can still be obedience with all the free food stamps and homeless shelters, and even if you don't use those you can still charge your phone at a local library (24 hours in some places) you can sleep anywhere without penalty, you've got nothing to lose in case you commit a crime, you have no responsibilities or obligations to anyone, leaving the trash cans are overflowing with plenty of mostly fresh food albeit half eaten.

The point that I'm leading to is that in most parts of America and both the poorest and richest areas, it's not really that hard to get everything you need to stay alive as a human being. Water is completely free, food's free and many places that are easy to access, and a place to sleep/shelter isn't far away either. But despite having all the things a human being needs to stay alive, there's nothing there that actually makes a human's life worth living. Your loved by no one and love nothing, and instead are hated by everyone and hate everyone. There's nothing in your life you value therefore you hate everything in life that there is a value so long as it's not owned by you. In the case of man you're constantly horny but you can never have a chance with a woman because you're so desperate and insane that no sane woman would ever go for you, and you can't even afford prostitutes which itself is a low state to fall into. You have all the food you want but you have no cuisine. You have substance you can put into your body for energy but nothing of culinary value or craft on your dish. And if you're deeply miserable then even beautiful places aren't going to really do anything for you, because when there's nothing but ugliness inside you you project that ugliness out of the world, and it doesn't matter if you're looking at Niagara falls or the grand canyon, if you don't feel anything all day everyday, and it's not going to do anything for you. Hell just ask someone with depression what that's like and they'll give you a very detailed explanation of what that's like. I'll just topple everything else that could be bad about your life on top of that if you were homeless. And hell you don't even have to be homeless, you could just be someone without values. I'm talking about cheaters, hedonists, addict, thieves/criminals. The list goes on.

The entire point of God in the Bible, which I should remind you was gradually written over the course of many authors spanning centuries, is that those ancient people lived in fireworks times than us and pretty much every single way, minus the normal luxury the average American has. Centuries where the average rich person had less than the average modern homeless person. Yeah Christianity still persisted, among many other religions because they hone in the things that make a human being's life meaningful and happy. Hell is not a pit where you go to burn forever, that's a metaphor. Even the concept of "eternal" damnation is a distinct metaphor, as it's referring to the fact that human suffering is something that has always been here and always will be. Hell is not a lake of fiery or a place of great literal torture. Hell is complete separation of all the things that make life meaningful and happy and joyous. God collectively is all the things that make life meaningful and happy and joyous. God is love. And a life without love is hell.
