It is necessary that normgroids believe in hell because they then don’t think too hard about the fact evil people will live their lives in total comfort and die peacefully and never face any punishment for their crimes. The idea that bad people are burning in hell makes people think all is well and more tolerant towards these crimes.
If they stop believing in these superstitions they are more likely to be critical of their rulers and potentially even overthrow them and take justice into their hands. In this way, religion has always been the opium of the working masses which numbs their pain and dulls their senses.
