Sin is a transgression against a gods law. Some fully human beings are atheist and have no god therefore cannot sin

I have a related question:
According to the Abrahamic faiths, we all have a sinful nature and are born with sin. So, if it's impossible for any full human to choose never to sin, then do we actually have free will to choose never to sin? To that effect, is free will only meaningful for choosing to worship a god or not? They why all this suffering on earth?

Maybe it depends on how sin is defined, but I believe Jesus was without sin.
consider starting a thread with your question. it's worth it's own thread.
sin is just another word for error. obviously everyone errs due to lack of knowledge and/or experience. other as self is not necessary to err, or commit an error.

I don't really care the OED is quite specific.
So let's also look at the American standard
What is 'Sin'?
The original meanings of sin were largely concerned with religious matters (“a transgression of religious law,” “an offense against God”).
everything isn't about some anthropomorphic god somewhere else.. or otherwise. i asked about humans and sin, if error is a better word for you, then go with it. god was not used in the original OP
assuming it was is an error in itself
And that's what i answered, you won't accept my answer and have tried all ends up to dis it.
Not my problem
