Of course, from a relativistic POV, every culture has its own ideas about social mores, right and wrong. I think the point here though is whehter or not one can sin in the Christian sense if one doesn't believe in God.

But of course, I shouldn't say of course, after all, for some, moral relativism is itself a sin.
