He doesn’t send anyone to hell. It’s a personal choice to go there. God created a way out that cost him a lot. If people don’t want to be in God’s presence, he will honor their request (otherwise, wouldn’t rebellious people who hate God in heaven be heaven at all?). He doesn’t send people to hell, but he does honor their desire not to be with him. As for the ages old question — what about those who have never heard? If someone, no matter how remote, has a sincere stirring in their inner being to know who it is that made what they see in the night sky and around them, God will make sure they find out.

Or, what about kids brought up by devout parents of other faiths like Hindu, Muslim, Buddha, etc. Out of loyalty or respect to their parents, the children keep the same faith as their parents. How does God get through to them? Honor thy father and thy mother is one of the commandments. Many kids might see taking up faith in God as showing disrespect or dishonoring their parents in those cases.
