omniscient = all knowing.

if god is all knowing wouldnt he know that to this day we no longer have any direct truth of his existance but rather some thousands of religions that we are made to believe one and only one. would an all knowing god still punish us even though we are ignorant to which religion(s) he calls his? if he loves us unconditionally wouldnt he then take mercy on us who worship the wrong religion out of ignorance of the true religion? or is his love conditional that we believe in him first?

so in the end if god is omniscient and sends us to hell for not believing hes definatly not just.

so in that, those of us who do not partake in any specific religion but instead believe in a god, are good in his eyes and will be with him?

The bible says that God has placed the knowledge of Himself in our hearts. As we grow we want to rule ourselves out of selfishness and turn from the truth. The existence of God is everywhere but it seems some people would rather argue as to why God can't exist than why He does. If you really want God to come into your heart, He will. He knows your heart better than you do because, after all, He is the one who placed it there.

All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own heart, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.
Instead of debating the fate of those who have never heard, we, as Christians, should be doing our best to make sure that they hear. We are called to spread the Gospel throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The fact that we know people reject the knowledge of God revealed in nature must motivate us to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Only through accepting the Gospel of God’s grace through the Lord Jesus Christ can people be saved from their sins and rescued from an eternity apart from God in hell.
If we assume that those who never hear the Gospel are granted mercy from God, we will run into a terrible problem. If people who never hear the Gospel are saved…we should make sure that no one ever hears the Gospel. The worst thing we could do would be share the Gospel with a person and have him or her reject it. If that were to happen, he or she would be condemned. People who do not hear the Gospel must be condemned, or else there is no motive for evangelism. Why run the risk of people possibly rejecting the Gospel and condemning themselves – when they were previously saved because they had never heard the Gospel?

God is just. You may not understand His full plan for you yet.

At some point, whether in this life or in the world to come, you will be taught the gospel and have the opportunity to accept it.
