#AskingAutistics (although feel free to answer even if you're not autistic!)
What things are often considered 'sins' in conservative religious terms, but yet don't harm other people?
First thing I could think of was gay marriage, and other rights around loving who you wish (as long as it's consensual and they're not underage).
Then gender identity. Being trans in particular (that seems to raise religious ire!).

There are other 'sins' that don't get measured around how much they may harm/help people but instead in absolutist terms.
Those I could think of were abortion. Lying. Stealing. Maybe even adultery.
Abortion being seen as a 'sin' puts women's lives in danger, esp. disadvantaged ones e.g. young, poor, abused, etc.
And people can have good reasons, even survival ones, for lying. And stealing.
