I think the notion of a god of infinite love sending me to hell to burn forever for doubting his existence is absurd at best.

Me too. But I don't see what that has to do with the idea of God, or a god, existing or not existing.
Most Atheists and many Christians tend to think of God as an old man in the sky and/or something like what you describe.
Both groups should seriously consider evolving. Read Tolstoy's views, or the Dalai Lama's, or hell, even Einstein's...

A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. (Albert Einstein)

I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. (Albert Einstein)
