If there is one or more god(s) out there and their fundamental core value is love

Their fundamental core value doesn't have to be love. That's just one kind of interpretation of some religions. There are more options.

Absolutely. That section is a response to the monotheistic interpretation of god and the idea of hell. The Greco-Roman gods, for example, would be an entirely different story where power is the core value.
