A "reprobate mind" is: a mind that is rejected because it is deemed worthless (cf. 1Cor` 9:`27; 2Cor 13:5, 6, 7; 2Tim 3:8; Titus 1:16; Heb 6:8). A reprobate mind is therefore one abandoned or rejected of God and therefore not fit for any activity worthy of official approval or esteem. This includes both thoughts and actions.

Notice that there is a specific group of people (among the Gentiles specifically, but certainly applicable to all men), who have "refused to have God in their knowledge". We could easily see how this applies to Atheists (Ps 14:1) but to all who practically deny the existence of God and/or who refuse to acknowledge Him as Creator. So, who are these people? Just go down the list of sins that follow and you have a more than good idea who they are.
