and the need to say that you are sorry.
Society requires nothing in this regard, only that you pay for what you did wrong through some sort of punishment. Religion requires it, even when you don't get caught. Religion gave us "I'm sorry" and the secular world is trying to dispose of it.
Your religion insists that we be sorry for being made the way that we are, for possessing the nature that we possess, for having the innate flaws we cannot help having. It is insane to be sorry for being human, or to be sorry for what someone did long before I was born, or to be sorry for a "original sin" which is obviously fictional, and I don't need any religion to be sorry for any specific wrongdoings of which I am actually personally responsible for. The vast majority of the 'sins' that Jesus allegedly died for were never truly anybody's fault in the first place.
That I can be sorry even though there's nobody requiring it of me makes my contrition automatically more genuine, anyway.
