To me sin is something immoral put in a religious context. I think morality and immorality are in everyone, whether they are religious or not.

I dont like it if my stuff gets stolen. You don't like it either. Neither do all the others. So if we are going to co-exist in a society we will agree amongst each other that we will not steal from each other. Anyone violating that aggreement is not adhering to our moral values and will be either punished or shunned.

All the other examples you give, will bite you in the ass some time or another, but I don't consider them immoral or a sin.
Best regards,
