I do not believe in Hell at all. Except hell on earth. Hell is what we make of it. But personally I don't believe in it, just as I don't believe in the Devil. Or Heaven, for that matter...it maddens me when people blame their bad deeds on the devil. Own up to it, for fucks's sake! No one made you do it but you! But maybe that's just me...

I'm so brutally atheistic and dull that there's no point in me replying to anything related to supernatural things. I'm a clever monkey.

Well if Hell even exists I would think that it is what ever one would see as Hell for themselves. It is something that one experiences as the most horrifying theing ever. Then again for someone else that thing could be pleasure:/ So I mean that it is personal and individual for everyone.

Seriously, in my view hell(from what i've heard from all the religious fruits in the world) seems to be a nice place. You can do anything there, right sometimes get punished but same here on earth. i guess no one really knows until they get there so ill tell you all about it later.

I've always liked the thing that was in Sandman: whatever you think happens after death is what happens. Everyone gets a personalized afterlife. You can't lose unless you believe in punishment for things you did when you were alive!

Regardless of ones religious affiliations, or lack thereof, pretty much everyone has an idea of the concept of Hell.
If you're an atheist, not believing in God and his creations, would typically stop you from having a perception of Hell. Doesn't have to be so.
I'm not sure how accurate my comparisons are, but if you're a capitalist, does that stop you from having a perception of communism? If you're a liberal, don't you have a perception of democrats or republicans?
However misguided my comparisons may be, my point is that not believing in Hell doesn't stop one from visualizing what it may be like for one that believes in such a concept.
Remember, the question is not if you believe in Hell, but rather what you would envision it to be like, were there such a thing.

My basic take on heaven and hell is, assuming that there is such a thing as a soul, that soul goes through processes of both refreshment and destruction here on earth. Those are certainly little tastes of heaven and hell respectively.
After this life? If the soul is absent from the body but somehow intact, and in more direct spiritual contact with other souls and with the source of its spiritual life ("God") then that would be my definition of heaven. If the soul is cut off from its source(s) and is gradually falling apart (analogy of the half-life of a radioactive isotope) that would be the ultimate hell.
I've never been "on the other side," so I can't say for sure, but I suspect that this non-material heaven/hell scenario might be as rational and fruitful a n assumption as any. Your mileage may vary.
