21 because, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,
22 professing to be wise, they were made fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

This is pretty much referring to unbelievers.
One can not believe and not be Evil. Paul is speaking about EVIL Men

You should pay attention more to the context of Romans 1, rather than trying to reconcile Romans with Acts, because the context is clear that those who worship other gods (i.e. unbelievers, typically Gentile pagans who have not converted to Christianity) are doing evil because, according to Romans, God's existence is made clear to all people, so they (the unbelievers) have no excuse of committing the evil of suppressing the truth and going for other gods.
