I'm not a concept, and I reckon God isn't too if he exists.

you have a name so you are/exist. and not a concept you are a being.
concept/idea/object/being they are all the same more or less.
If you call something something then it must be/exist in concept or in object.
the issue here is that one can deny the existence of what a word is suggesting/ the concept, but one cannot get rid of the word.
It is not possible to erase a word.

The Christians have erased entire libraries, what is so mighty about a word?
It is not about a mightyness it is about a word.
Once someone creates a word, any word, one cannot erase it from the language.
You might hide it, don't talk about, don't use it in your writing, speaking but you cannot physically remove it from the dictionary or the language because of memory.
Memory and language are entertwined.

Different religions may have different sacles of sins. I don't think religion exists because of the idea of Sin，but the belief!
Sin and Confession... is what keeps a Church active physically i suppose. When someone does something wrong they feel the need to remove themselves of the guilt, so they confess it to a priest/pastor/precher/whatever stands at the pulpit in your house of worship. This gives a feeling of relief and absolution a feeling that says it was okay to Do Wrong (Sin) that all you have to do is Confess to it and that all is right. When it is not and it is rather frightening menatality that could occur within a person, becuae if it is okay to wrong another how long will it be before it is okay to kill a person and that confession will make what you did okay? As towards Church, yes it is the main part of it, but it is mostly a branch off of Faith, the belief that there is right and wrong. The Bible or watever holy text corresponds with your religion (which is in all necessity a book of childrens tales with conclusions that can influence a young mind into identifying right/wrong and what values a person ought to uphold), is the embodiement of all of that religion, becuase religion is just a comfort to assure people that what they do affects more than just themselves.
Which is why I am not a practitioner of any religion, I do not need another person to reassure what i already know... that everything I do affects the people around me and that I, as an individual, have an impact on any persons day through what i say and how i interact.
So No, religion can exist without Sin and Confession there just would be no set of morals and just belief (becuase if there is no sin then there is no known form of what is right or wrong), so it would be only the blind worship of a higher being (either due to fear, peer pressure, upbringing), and a society without order in which the only major things that were of importance would be Food, Worship, Shelter, Mating... But yes it is a major underlying basis that most priests and practioners would disagree as a founding componant, sin and confession is more of a reaction to what Faith and Morals are presented.
That is my take on the subject
