'Evil', 'wicked', 'sin', and 'bad' are all synonymous; they are privative moral terms, and morality is determined by God—grounded in his nature and expressed prescriptively by his commands. So wickedness is people doing evil things, and not believing in God is just one of the many evil things they do (e.g., 1 John 3:23, "And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ ...").
So, to be clear, you believe that someone who is a relatively good person, may live his life by so called "Christian values" but does not believe is going to hell?
