Both are positives as far as I'm concerned.
Back to the moraly wrong (sins) and I think about both personal and social sins
Personal sins: What is it that you would never allow yourself to do even if no one is looking? and if you do it you will feel guilty and you will promise yourself not to do it again?
Social sins: What is it that you would try not to do if someone is looking and even if you do it when no one is looking, you'd prefer that everyone should be stopped by society from doing it?
My question: if we didn't cheat one or two things from religion, how would we decide what's wrong?
I don't know which things you have in mind. Religion has never been a requirement of my moral agency - but that's anecdotal. Supposing that some people do need to cheat at whatever those things are, there's no shortage of religion in the world and nothing about being an atheist prevents you or anyone else who needs religion from picking one.
