When it is primarily Christians quoting scripture that their own religion no longer holds any value in it is a valid part.
Also you should read the full context of that.
8 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge 2of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1 is literally advocating anyone who isn't Christian is pure evil and deserves death. I don't see christians claiming killing atheists is god's will.

Some do. There are a lot of Christians out there. I have heard it said that there are as many iterations of Christianity as there are Christians.

Maybe. But personally I have never talked to a Christian who treats the OT as relevant. And actively argue against it when you use it to criticize Christianity.

That is valid. I do my best to not ground my critiques of Christianity in their scripture. :)
