Does the Bible address the subject of what happens to people (after death) who have never heard of Christ? If yes, what do you think it says? If no, what do you think happens to them?

Here is what the Bible says: Rom 2:12-16 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perished without the law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things contained in the law, these although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

There are many many who have never heard the Name of Jesus. For those who died before the Crucifixion, Christ went to 'hell' taught and offered a chance for them believe. some did some did not, on the third day he left hell, and those who believed went with him, as it is today, many 'believed' as he was leaving but it was too late. The new testament teaches that 'all creation' instinctively knows that there is a God,' God will judge the heart. and his judgment will be just.

It would depend on the "light " they had........ some people act Christ like without ever really knowing him--through study & prayer..
We will be judged according to the light we had. Therefore if- Great Great Grandpa never had the opportunity to learn of Christ.. but cared for & loved his fellowman without hesitation... he could very well be in the New Kingdom- God IS fair & will only judge us on what light (truth) we have learned in our hearts.

At Spiritual Souls were created by our glorious Godhead. At the moment of creation they were sent on their own individual voyage of discovery and evolvement, which ultimately would result in their returning to the presence of the creator God in what is known on the spiritual side as the seventh heaven.
Two points follow from this principle.
Firstly, the temporary human body that the Spiritual energy is connected to is of no importance. (If it were we would not have all these cemetaries everywhere)
Secondly, the most fundamental law of the universe is that there is only one creator God whom we are to love, praise and worship.
Speaking on the first point, when it is said the human body is of no importance, it is meant that in the fullness of eons of spiritual time, the body, is like one drop in the oceans of the earth plane. You do of course have two bodies. Your physical and carnal body and your Spiritual body. When the Holy Word says that your body is a Holy Temple and in the likeness of God, it is clearly speaking of your Spiritual body. We see people who have limbs amputated and parts removed from their physical body, but their spiritual body is still complete and this is why people who have had a foot or arm amputated, find their missing foot or arm, still itches. Every person has a duty of care to maintain and look after their physical body to the highest possible standard. It is a gift from the Godhead to the spirit energy to use on the earth plane. Consequently there is a responsibility upon the spirit user for that body. This is a lesson of evolvement that millions of dwellers presently on the earth plane are ignoring.
What will happen to them when they leave their physical body and return to Spirit?
Quite clearly if they have not observed the fundamental laws of the universe, they have failed an important test. The good thing about the lessons from the Godhead is that nobody has to fail unless they choose to do so. They will return to the earth plane and go through the process of earthly life once again and maybe again and again. Not necessarily in the same country or race either.
Easter is the most important time on the earth plane spiritually, for during this time we recognize and understand that the Godhead sent the second part of his Tripartite Being to the earth plane in the form of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. And that Being, came in the form of a human body, which should indicate to every person, the absolutely sacred nature of the human physical body.
Returning to the second point, is the question of worship. Many people presently dwelling upon the earth plane, have made a conscious choice to place spirit energies to be objects of worship. While some of the highly evolved spirit energies are surely worthy of praise, respect and adulation, these spirit energies are not God. The tenants of living on the earth plane are made clear in the Ten Commandments, which were repeated by Lord Jesus in His sermon on the mount. And one of them in brief, is worship no other God but Me. Those who are placing spiritual energies in a situation where those energies are seen as objects of worship, are breaking a fundamental law. The person who is doing this cannot evolve to a higher station, simply, because they have failed to learn one of the fundamental lessons spelt out so clearly by our God and by Jesus Christ when he was on the earth plane.
It should be now clear to any reader of some intelligence that their purpose of returning to the earth plane was to learn lessons relating to the fundamental laws of the universe. If the lesson they came here to learn has not been learnt, they will return. If they have learnt their lesson and have not reached the state of high evolvement, they will indeed return again to the earth plane to learn one of the many other lessons.

All will have a chance to hear God's words and be given the chance to accept Jesus or not. If not in this life then in the next...

They just decompose just as everyone who dies!
The Bible doesn't teach people go directly to heaven or hell after death. It's what people have come to believe.
