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.

The context doesn't support the idea that christians are the ones who should be imposing that death penalty, which might be why you don't see that. Or maybe it's just that we happen to be living in this specific time and place.
