“Burn in hell” is a very brief and off-the-cuff sentiment. “I hope all X burn in hell” is not a personal attack until you insert yourself into it by actively claiming X as an important/relevant part of yourself, and adding details to a 3-syllable dismissal.
It’s a stranger on the internet, a 1-month old account saying this. There’s no reason to get worked up about it.
Wouldn’t an ex-evangelical have a firm belief that hell ain’t real, and have more of an aversion to the religious aspect than the personal aspect?
It’s funny how they prepare you for all kinds of physical challenges in basic, but they don’t teach a simple life skill like shrugging off a modest verbal offense from a stranger.

If it helps with context I’m an ex evangelical and hell is a really sensitive subject with me
