Sin is a religious term for evil deeds committed by conscious beings.
Unlike the humanist concept of evil, sin is defined entirely in terms of doing things which God specifically prohibits.
Counter-Apologetics
Since Atheists do not believe in God, it is meaningless to accuse ask an atheist of being a sinner. Humanistic athiests recognize the concept of right and wrong actions in terms of their impact on other people, but the idea of sin is basically irrelevant without appealing to a deity.
