The better version of that argument is, people born in the wrong parts of the world are doomed to hell because they were born in the wrong culture, why would god make it so that perfectly good people are sent to hell because they lost the birth lottery?

well God does not punish those who don't know.

God sent a messenger to every tribe on the planet so people would find out about the one God one way or another

I'm not buying that. The native american peoples were isolated from the rest of the world until the 16:th (?) century.

Even if a messenger magically appeard there, a person's religion is almost always determined by the culture in which they live and although missionaries have suceeded before (Germanic and Slavic peoples, Indonesia) they have also failed (India, China, Japan). Are you saying the Japanese engineers who volonteered to clean up Fukushima instead of the young are still going to hell because they're non-religious?
