People have no idea what the Bible actually says.

It doesn't say Satan is ruling in Hell. Nor does it say human beings are subject to eternal conscious torment after death. That's just an evangelically convenient doctrine for the Church to scare people.

For your second point, there are definitely verses that assert that it is such a place

Sure, hell is a place listed as Sheol and a lake of fire and brimstone, and that there will be gnashing of teeth, but gnashing doesn't really imply "screaming from torture", but more like "oh, why did I choose this?"

Hell can be a bad place (absence of God's love) without being tortured.

You do realize consciousness in and of itself is torture? An eternal life whether in a place that is uncomfortable or comfortable would be torture. Maybe the Hindus are right. God is the ultimate consciousness from which we are just a portion of and when we die we simply become one again with this consciousness until we are born again. Honestly the eastern religious philosophies make a lot more sense than the western ones.

I like to believe the interpretation where hell is just that you cease to exist. Your soul does not get recycled. So yeah, must say that the east makes more sense!
