Answer:
Jesus emphatically stated: “In all the nations the good news has to be preached first.” (Mark 13:10) We must remember that Jehovah knows the heart condition of all people. No matter what a person’s situation is, if he sincerely searches for the truth about God, he will find it.—1 Chronicles 28:9. He is the one to determine to what extent the witness is to be given to all the nations. If Jehovah chooses, he can see that the Kingdom message is spread in ways that we cannot yet imagine so that many more people may “hear the word of the good news and believe.” (Acts 15:7) What Jehovah does will be in full harmony with who he is—a loving, wise, and just God.

You will get many varied answers to this question. The Bible can be interpreted in many ways and most theists will interpret it to their side of an argument.
The bible is clear that anyone who hasn't reached "the age of understanding." This refers to baby's, people without the mental capacity to understand, and yes, even those how truly have not heard the Word.

You cannot be blamed for not following a religion you know nothing of. Not to say that anyone who know of Christianity and doesn't follow it is sinful; that would include me. But you can't follow something you don't know about. Or as a very wise minister once said to me, "If you haven't stood in the light, you don't cast a shadow."
In addition to Betty's and others statement that God will judge fairly we should know that people in all cultures have the same problem and awareness of sin which separates us , further it says in Romans "no one seeks after God"...if anyone truly seeks from the heart to desire salvation I believe that God will provide an open door. God is working powerfully today in places like China, Korea, Africa , while his hand of grace is lifting from our own land which was a beacon of the gospel

I would think a Get in Free pass would be appropriate.

GOD WILL JUDGE FAIRLY BY WHAT WE KNOW........ For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. (Romans 2:14-16)

You will be held accountable for what you do know. Everything knows right from wrong.
