* Inverted in ''Literature/AmericanGods'', at least as far as Egyptian mytology went. Entry into paradise was determined by weighing a person's heart (which grew heavier with evil deeds and lighter with good ones) against a feather, but as it turns out the feather was specially made. Apparently someone had to be particularly evil to tip the scales.

* Serves as the premise of Stanley Elkin's 1979 novel ''The Living End.'' Protagonist Ellerbee, a man so decent as to border on the beatific, finds himself cast into Hell for such offenses as taking the Lord's name in vain (once), failing to sufficiently honor his ''biological'' father and mother (he was adopted as an infant and never knew them), and-- most damning of all-- thinking that Heaven looked like a theme park.

--> ''You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the Enemy. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one -- the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts,''

* ''WebAnimation/{{Hellaverse}}'': [[ZigZaggedTrope Played with]]. On the one hand, small things like watching porn and being a screaming baby ''[[ExactWords could]]'' land you in Hell. ''Helluva Boss'' shows that someone can be a good person their entire life and still go to Hell for committing a single crime. [[ShowDontTell On the other hand]], given the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil overwhelming majority of Hell's population are pretty terrible people]], it's implied that its less you committing the crimes so much as it being a catalyst of existing morality to begin with -- [[ShapedLikeItself and that trigger overwhelmingly defaults to people who were pretty shit in life, one way or another]]. People like Lyle Lipton shows that Heaven isn't against the idea of taking people who are unpleasant but did no direct wrong by their standards; it's rather the combination of being an asshole on ''top'' of actively acting on that assholery that leads to damnation. It's a major reason why the overwhelming majority of demonkind tend to be assholes; if they weren't people who were terrible, they've done something terrible in life to each other. "Welcome to Heaven" reveals that [[spoiler:not even Heaven has any clue as to what gets a soul in or not when Adam lists a set of conditions when Charlie puts him on the spot, and Angel Dust fails to get in despite meeting every one of them.]]

The Underworld is depicted as a gloomy, cavernous area where dead souls aimlessly float in the River Styx for eternity, and Hades has a tendency to set unruly shades on fire.

* In Stephen King's The Revival, every mortal soul goes to a hellish dimension called "null" where they serve as livestock for insectile eldritch beings.



* ''Literature/WorthTheCandle'': every mortal soul goes to one of the hells, of which there's nine thousand, each worse than the other (random distribution, no relation to whatever sins you committed). The alternative is CessationOfExistence via capturing one's soul while the body is still warm and destroying it, which pretty much everyone prefers.

Added DiffLines:

* Occurs with some regularity on''Website/SCPFoundation'', as expected from something that began as a horror website:
** SCP-2718 is a first-person account of what happens to people after they die: [[AndIMustScream they feel everything that happens to every atom of their body as it decays]].
** In SCP-3004, the afterlife is governed by an eldritch god that figured from its skimming of Christianity that humans consider suffering good, so everyone who dies gets it as their eternal reward.
** In SCP-5370, the soul of every Foundation employee after death gets stuck in an artificial limbo. The problem is that the limbo has an expiration date, and after it comes every soul in it goes straight to hell.
** Nälkä (sarkicism) cosmology states that gods exist, they're all evil, and afterlife is universally some kind of horror or another. The best way to fight this is to become immortal, albeit becoming so powerful that you can kill and eat gods that would try to claim your soul is also an option worth considering.

* Despite the popular image in Western countries, Buddhism is absolutely this trope. The Buddhist version of Hell is more comparable to Purgatory as you don't stay there for very long but you are subjected to very extreme torment in order to cleanse the negative karma which even once removed still influences where and how you shall be reborn. This does not make Buddhist Hell any less terrifying especially considering just how easy it is to be sent there. Even being rude to your parents for whatever reason can get you sent to Hell if the first Yama King decides that you failed to show Filial Piety (loyalty to parents and grandparents and older relatives such as your siblings or your aunts and uncles) where it should had been expressed. Just for your information, the ten Yama Kings do not really pay attention to context which means that even killing mosquitos could be spiritually risky. The worst Hell (reserved for people who kill their [[{{Patricide}} father]], [[{{Matricide}} mother]], a Buddha or cause a schism in the Buddhist monastic community) is called Avīci, or the "non-stop way", where damned souls spend literally ''trillions'' of years. Although they will eventually be released, that has never happened yet according to teachings.

This is why the goal of Buddhism is Nirvana, a true and final removal from the cycle of reincarnation - exactly what that ''means'' ranges from "a kind of paradise" to "CessationOfExistence" depending on which school of thought you ask, but in any variation it means you stay out of Hell for good.

This is not a universal theology in Christianity; Universalism has existed since the beginning of the Church.


* In ''Literature/TheBible'', all sinners go to hell. Since all humans have sinned, this means ''all humans'' go to Hell. This can include something as small as looking at a woman with lustful intent. God recognized this as an issue, since He loves us and doesn't ''want'' us to go to Hell, which is why He sent Jesus to pay the penalty for our sins in our place, making it possible for humans who repent of their sins to go to heaven.

* One of the most acclaimed episodes of ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'', "Dead Run" has a trucker realizing that he's ferrying souls on the road to Hell. He soon finds Hell has recently undergone a "change of management" to what adds up to the Moral Majority. Thus, several of these souls have been condemned for being gay, drug addicts, not smart enough or refusing to pull banned books from the library. Deciding to fight this his own way, the trucker pauses every run to let out the souls who don't deserve eternal punishment and letting them have a shot at reaching Heaven.

** Also in "Best Friends Forever" this turns out to be a problem as Hell has so many damned souls that Satan is all but assured victory when he attacks. As a result God starts letting more people in Heaven and having Kenny killed in order to lead Heaven's armies so they stand a chance.

According to his agreement with his new church, all Bender has to do is sin ''once'' to be dragged off to Robot Hell. Ironically, they never mention robots who never joined that church going to Robot Hell, so Bender may have been better off if he had never converted.
