If having a child creates a risk for that child to go to hell, surely the correct thing to do would be to be completely celibate/never have kids? No kids means no hell for them? Why don't religious people think like this?

Sure you could argue that you'd be disobeying God since he tells you to reproduce and thereby would risk yourself going to hell, but surely this would be the ultimate moral sacrifice, saving infinite people from eternal damnation?

EDIT: turns out Jewish "hell" is very different to Christian hell or Islamic Jahanam. More of a rehab centre, so my question is more targeted at just Christian's or Muslims now.
