no, what i am saying is that Sin as we know it is linked to the religious material that conceptualized it.

sure, perhaps before the bible/torah/whateveryouwant, there was sin, perhaps it existed as some other name.
and sure, without religion, any educated and productive society would define some activities as being wrong.
but what I said was that our definition of Sin was provided by, describing, conceptualized, whatever in religious material. Without that, sin could be totally different (maybe a sin would be not sitting when you pee) or totally similar, but it would not be definded and based upon religious texts.
