If it means wrong doing, then yes.

One has to be religious to oneself even if not attached to any other established religion.

So Sin & Karma does exist as one cannot escape one's self.
@in10RjFox so if you don't believe in God and you think its the truth is it a philosophy ?

@Phantome Not believe in God, is like saying Not believing in Superman or Spiderman, that are fictional characters, for one is only denying a God created as a fictional character by someone else. So one has to be more specific by saying "I don't believe in the concept of God" is a different argument.

Again, when I do not know if there is any god or not or don't believe in that concept, then I have to establish its truth by a philosophy that "God does not exist in any form or as a force or activity beyond", which nobody can, as there are many things that happen which cannot be explained, but understood.

For instance, one has the right to establish Nature, Fate, Time as the God. Personally I call fate, as Almighty Fate, whenever I need to refer to god, to reason or comprehend something.

Hope you see the difference, for not believing in someone's god or God as referred to in general, and saying that there is No god at all.

Paganism, Voodoiism etc. too are atheists in strict sense, but have established their belief as religion, by defining their own god / deity etc.
@in10RjFox Thank you for that info

No, there is good and bad, you can feel guilt and shame, you can make mistakes and bad choices…but sin is to go against your religious beliefs without religion there is no sin.
Sin is entirely subjective. Even if you are religious, sin is just the things God doesn't like and is therefore still his subjective opinion.

We all (mostly) live in a civilised society, which has laws and morals to live by, so If being immoral or breaking the law is wrong its a sin

It really depends. If religion is true then yes. If it is not then it doesn’t exist for anyone.

{@phantome] i thing it does as crime is seen as a sin and duly punished

No. Sin a a construct of religion.
@Kumbayakid guess so
Ingwe · F

Nope. Just morality.
Adstar · 56-60, M
Yes.. Gods standards define sin and what is not sin.. Not human thinking..

Good and bad exist whether or not you have belief in a religious way

Ying and Yang
@SW-User but is it sin ?
SW-User
@Phantome I would just assume that anything unlawful is sinful, and outside of this I don't think so..... But there's variations as some countries have ridiculous laws..


I don't think there's a right or wrong answer here tbh
@SW-User thank you for your view
