Why would I agree with you and then post a quote and link to the genetic fallacy? Did you not catch how I was rivaling the simplicity of your logic? (As I did with Diode's)
MY point was that if we're going to take your road of reasoning, then everything we are is thus a result of our immediate external environment, e.g. All Irishmen are Catholics, which is clearly false, hence the quote and link. To some extent, however, we can use that logic, but it's nothing concrete. Choice birthed from freewill influenced by common-sense, skepticism, intuition and rebellion makes your argument invalid.

Why do some people know about him but others don't if he is god and is everywhere?

I've heard of stories of rural tribes in Papua New Guinea who have zero contact with the outside world, have never been visited by missionaries, but speak of a man of the son of God they now worship after years of witchcraft and cannibalism.

Which is exactly my point, what we believe is dictated by where we live and when we live

Yes and no. Thanks to skepticism, people attempt to influence the external world through internal analysis. E.g. your family is Muslim, you have doubts, you become an atheist - what you believe, is therefore,
not dictated by "where we live and when we live" as you simply put.
