Yes, it's absolutely true. You're free to look up Ahl al-Fatrah, a technical term in Islamic theology refering to anyone who sincerely looked for an answer and didn't find it / was geographically isolated / embraced an entirely different religion and never looked into Islam hard enough / died before the Islamic prophet, etc. All these categories are honest people who did what they could.

If you're not an agnostic, you must have a reason for weighting the other side, that is, God not existing. Otherwise, you are erring on the side of dishonesty.
