Jews don't necessarily believe in hell, and the closest thing they have to it is more like the sumerian or Greek afterlife than the hell modern Christians imagine. Prophets are also more common than you think, occurring in Etruscan and African cultures frequently. Satan is not big in judaism, far more a Christian thing. There are some similarities and it's probably ideas were exchanged between the two faiths towards their founding, but you can't say they just share ideology
A majority of Christian sects also reject a firm notion of Hell. Most view purgatory and salvation as the path that the soul takes.
Hell is simply where Satan resides, not some infinite torture chamber. Satan also has no control over Hell as Jesus willingly goes there and after a time, yoinks all the souls there up to Heaven without a problem during the ascension.
It kind of goes against the entire notion of indiscriminate forgiveness and salvation if you just got cast into hell and got stuck there.
The truth is that hell was never a domain of Satan nor was it a torture chamber. Hell is actually a prison to destroy the souls of unbelievers through fire. Also, Yahweh had shown mercy when he offer people a chance to repent after the crucification of Jesus.

I don't think a majority is right, but it's definitely true there's more than one strain of thought.
