That and over the top un-scrupulousness, look at yer boy up there.
I don't know that sin actually -can be- translated into a secular meaning, but laying that aside..the mark that's missed....isn't the mark of morality in any sense other than churchspeak "morality". It's not about being as good as we could possibly be, in any sense other than that penultimate height being another mark of churchspeak religiosity. Bringing us right back round to hitchens comments, wherein the condition is manufactured, and the cure conditional upon the manufacturer of the condition.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
