It is entirely possible for someone to believe in an evil god, and (quite reasonably) decline to do that god's alleged bidding.
Most theists use the term "God" to refer to a good god. An evil god, by this definition, would not be God, and thus believing in it does not mean you are not an "atheist" (defined as someone who does not believe in God.)
(Whether this definition is more or less useful than one that doesn't mention morality is left as an exercise for the reader.)
