My main concern is most religious people only care about their guilt and resolving all that in an afterlife. The likelihood that there’s either no creator or if there is one actively hates you like a Sims game where you burn them for fun and then discard the is more likely than the obviously false dichotomy of the hateful demiurge of the OT and the caring Jesus of the NT.
If you agree the Bible is wrong on creation, what, makea you think it is right on anything? Blind faith?

Hell was created by Man in order to scare and thus control others.
I don’t believe that God created Hell, especially in the Biblical sense. He created Life, and sometimes Life can turn into something terrible, whether by Man or by nature.

I did not say the Bible was wrong on creation; I said that the authors could only write about what they knew, which was very limited.
I view the Bible much like Mark Twain did: “It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies.”
