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!!!
You may have "studied" Koine Greek, but your reading comprehension is terrible. All unbelievers are evil according to Romans 1. Look at Romans 1:19:
BECAUSE that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest [it] to them
That is the reason for them being evil. Their unbelief. That is their unrighteousness.
Romans 11 says no such thing. Now you're being a heretic, lol.
