So in other words, Christians are to blame for people going to hell because otherwise nobody would have heard of this god thing, right?
Is it thus not morally reprehensible to tell a young child about Jésus lest they come to a decision contrary to that which the person telling them holds?
No, because Christians are told to preach to everyone (Mark 16:15), it's an expectation of them to testify, defend and promote their faith. They're ordered to tell people, and at least give them the chance of accepting the Gospel.
If God orders it, it's good. It's good by virtue of the fact God wants it.
