to the 2 billion people that have never heard of him and to another 2 billion people that don't know any more about him than your average Christian knows of, say, Hare Krishna?
These are (optimistic) numbers from Christian websites, but regardless of the specifics, most of the world has been brought up in a non-Christian society with only anecdotal exposure to Jesus, if any.
So they are all basically doomed, yet most Christians were born into some type of Christian household where the path of least resistance is to be Christian, in name if not in deed.
Not that that means they're automatically saved, but no matter what they still have an astronomically better chance of following Christ than any poor sap unlucky enough to be born in nearly any non-western culture.
How can the most fateful choice of our lives be so inequitable?
