@philosophy

sin has religious connotations.

mistake does not.

dr phil, some people do make mistakes that are social mistakes and has religious consequences too? Is that a sin too?

An analagy would be that lets suppose you lied to avoid hurting a relative. But you lied and lying can be taken as a sin too?
