THE CONCEPT OF SIN IN SOCIETY

Abstract

The article considers the concept of ―sin‖. The author justifies the thesis 
that ―sin‖ in its religious understanding gradually disappears from the 
vocabulary of a modern human being, it is replaced by the conception of ―diversity of human behavior‖. Identifying the nature and causality of sin, 
the author concludes that the human being is born with the rudiments of good 
and sinful inclinations, the manifestation of which depends on the atmosphere 
in the family, on the ideology of society. The concept of ―sin‖ determining 
moral guidelines requires updating considering changes in the society.
