I don't require your opinion on Jesus.
I'm curious to know if anyone has ever met anyone who has not heard of him.

Yes, though outside the United States.

I don't personally know anybody who hasn't heard of Jesus - but I know OF people who haven't heard of him. Lots of people in Africa and Asia - have probably not heard of him and don't know anything about him. Just as people here in the western world don't know anything about the Gods of those folks.
And - just because you've "heard" of Jesus - it doesn't really mean that you've had the same chance to "accept him as your savior" - as the guy who grew up in the Southern Baptist household. Don't you agree?
The whole "you'll burn in hell 'cause you didn't accept Jesus when you heard about him" thing - doesn't sit well with me.
I mean if God is anything - It's fair. And it just would'nt be fair that Billy Ray gets to find out about Jesus from his very Christian parents - who talk to him about them for his entire life and take him to church every Sunday - while Kimatu simply hears about him for a few days from some white men who come through his village speaking another language. "Oh well," God says, "too bad Kimatu didn't accept my kid as his savior. We'll burn him in hell. But Billy Ray can c'mon up to heaven." No. It just couldn't possibly work that way.

Yes, the aboriginal boy at school was certainly curious about such a man. Said he must have completely understood the dream time.... why was that... I still sometimes wonder? :-)

Jesus Christ? Didn't he play drums for the Beatles?

I met very few from a poor villages in India. That too they know the name Jesus but nothing more than that, and that was an opportunity to tell them about Jesus (not compelling them to accept)
but beyond my knowledge there are many in the forest and tribal backgrounds in Africa and deepest parts of countires

No, but I've known people who would have been a lot better off if they hadn't heard about him.

I cannot recall anyone that Ive know that hasn't heard of him but I didn't ask everybody either. I suppose I should though as we are called to spread the good news.

Several. Mostly people in deeply isolated locales...South America, China, and Africa. Strangely, they didn't seem the worse for it.
