Hell
Realm of damnation
Hell with a capital letter is the specific afterlife realm in Christian theology where souls are condemned to eternal damnation, often depicted as ruled by Satan.
It appears in religious texts, sermons, and discussions of doctrine: Jesus spoke of Hell more than Heaven.
The capitalized form treats it as a proper place name rather than a general concept. (Lowercase hell covers the word's broader and figurative uses.)
