Why did God wait so long to reveal his presence and messages to humanity, thus condemning others beforehand to damnation? And why are his presence and teachings not universal across the globe? Why does he choose to let some live without any knowledge of him or his teachings? It seems very unfair. There are so many things I don't understand about Christianity.
Actually you would need to read the Holy Bible AV and you will see there is none without knowledge of him.
Psalm 19:1-6 <<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. the speech is all languages of mankind that were throughout all the earth.
Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Roman 1:19, 20 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: the them is all people of the earth from the creation till today are still clearly seen.
The question one should ask is why do I not see these things that God has made manifest?
So God has not been unfair on the contrary he has been open before us and we are without excuse for not knowing him.
Acts 17:26-31 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Be assured there is no wickedness in God and if he had left himself without witness even to the pygmy in Africa then you would have room to condemn him. But he has revealed himself in his creation to all mankind. It is mankind who has been unfair to God.

Dalton. John did a video that touches on your question.
