We don't have sin because we have religions.

We have religions because we sin.
Sin is still just a word, possibly derived from the Latin 'sons' meaning 'guilty' apparently. It is still only another word for behaviour classified as wrong by some, mostly religious, people. Do you think that the God/personal epistemology you believe in actually does anything about it if you or anyone do something you classify as sin?
