Confused being the keyword I wouldn't think so. I mean there is a difference between not knowing and searching for answers while living in your sin versus you know what you're doing is wrong yet you're going to keep doing it anyways.

The etymology of 'sin' is "missing the target." Missing the target has repercussions and therefore can be a great teacher. Most have a desire to hit the target and many learn from their mistakes.Confused being the keyword I wouldn't think so.

No, it's the breaking of divine law. And that applies to everyone, regardless of religion or lack of religion.
If you've ever done anything wrong in your life, you have sinned.
It was rumoured that God liked nothing better than joining in the fun between creating .
And it was the Prince of Light who took exception to his Father's bad and loose behaviour .
Old beardy was true to the God type and a randy old bugger once he spotted earth women .

The BIBLICAL definition of sin:Sin is the breaking of a religious law.
If a person has no religion he cannot sin.
Sin is the transgression of THE Law (1 John 3:4)
"The Law" is the 10 Commandments. That includes, ....
Murder
Stealing
"Cheating" on your spouse
Bearing false witness
Taking God's name in vain

Either one works.
I think that doing unto others as you would have them do unto yourself is a pretty self evident teaching by the Master teacher. However, the temptations of the devil have led man to rationalize to take advantage of one another and to put others down to exalt oneself. I believe all mankind is born with a certain degree of the light of Christ and basically want to do that which is right. But living among those who have chosen to ignore goodness and do evil deeds we tend to accept some of these worldly traits. It is important that we establish laws of goodness, justice, fairness, etc. among ourselves to be able to live as a community and society. The kingdom of heaven is a community or society of those who are willing to live by a higher and more loving law. God wants us all to be converted to living that higher law and wants us all to repent and forsake our evil ways. Those who learn to live and accept the higher law of the gospel will be able to enter the kingdom of heaven while those who refuse to live it will have to go to a lesser kingdom of which laws they are willing to obey. It is critical that we learn to live these laws of our own free will and choice. God will not force us to live his laws but will separate us to live in higher or lower kingdoms based on what we are willing to live by according to our own free will and choice. The punishment we receive is really brought upon us by our own free will and choice. The punishment is the regret when we realize the all that God has taught us was true and we didn't put our lives is order to live a celestial law. For us to truly be good beings, God knows that we must choose goodness of our own free will and choice. God has provided a way for us to gain forgiveness of our past sins and allows us to change into good beings. However, it is our free will to choose to do so or not. Those who are converted to doing good works are those who will receive the grace of God to enter into his kingdom where they are willing to live the higher law of goodness.

If you've ever done anything wrong in your life, you have sinned.
That only applies if your divine authority actually exists
And define "wrong" for me because it means different things depending on the person you are talking to

I don't use the bible for word definitions.
And again that only applies if your god actually exists.
And did you know that many of the 10 Commandments were already codified law in quite a few places before they were claimed to be dictated by a god via a burning bush?
IOW they were laws made by men therefore not divine

Yes. So, what's your point?
The god in the bible punished people rather capriciously.
