If you found out "eternal torment" is NOT a biblical doctrine, would you be more open to a belief in God?

No, why would I?
When will some people learn that "biblical" is neither here nor there? The bible is a book written thousands of years ago, nothing more.

I would need some evidence that this "eternal torment" existed first

No, atheists are not atheist because god is scary or mean. We are atheists because logic suggests, and in fact, verifies, that the bible is false.
Atheists are atheists for intellectual reasons, not emotional or moral ones.

No and if that were to be true then christianity would lose many of it's followers.Fear is one of the basic tenets of the christian religion.

Nope.
Well I might want him to be real then, but it wouldn't change the total lack of evidence.

I'm not an atheist just because I don't follow the Bible, it's because I don't believe there is a god
That's just it.

The Bible has nothing to do with my atheism, so no.
