Conservative Christians as a whole gave the world the entire concept of “harsh condemnation”.

Christianity got “Hell” from the Greek (Hades), who imported the idea when they conquered the land, which seeped into sects of Judaism, which then eventually led to Christianity.

Punishment in the after life is an ancient concept, though not all societies would have it of course.
