Especially in the sticks of a hotbed of Albigensianism lately reclaimed by orthodoxy. I don't remember if disbelief in hell was a Cathar thing. (I think maybe, on the grounds that the Devil/Demiurge's domain was the material world so that there was no need for another one, but it's been a while since I read about it.) But the widespread local distrust in church doctrine (and the clergy itself) that led to Montaillou going Albigensian was almost certainly a factor.
