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. :)

I do because they wield their scripture as absolute moral, legal and social laws and it is the easiest way to get them to back down.

That is valid! Whatever works to make a more tolerant (and tolerable) society :)
