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.
See the thing is, romans 1 is not the only thing Paul says about unbelievers. In chapter 11 of Romans Paul even says their are 'unbelievers' who will enter Heaven. So again, Sport not all unbelievers are EVIL MEN!!!
Uh, uh... did you just learn something new about Biblical Christianity that conflicts with most religious versions? That it's (christian) NOT a title we get to award or bestow upon ourselves by following certain acts of religion. That it is completely up to God who is and who is not Christian/Saved.
Again that is why You and your expert fails. Because you both wrongly assume that sinner, unbeliever, and Evil are all the same thing. Now before you go the way of the other 1/2 of team rocket and claim I am trying to split hairs know that the 'split' here is not mine but Paul's in both the book of Romans and Acts.
