You and fellow believers, going back thousands of years, have utterly failed to establish that any such thing as divine law exists. I don't believe it does.
Therefore, I have never sinned -- not once, not ever -- and neither have you or anyone else.
On the other hand, people may commit crimes, misdemeanors, slights, and other bad acts. Ethical people make up for their bad acts on their own -- no imaginary deities needed; when possible, they make amends or reparation directly to the people affected by their bad acts. IMO, Christians who practice only substitutional atonement are NOT moral.
Where did you get that definition of sin?
There's this thing called a "dictionary." It defines sin as
1. transgression of divine law.
2.any act regarded as such a transgression, especially a willful or deliberate violation of some religious or moral principle.
If you don't believe in a God, then how can you define morality? Who defines what is right or wrong?
We human beings, just like always.
