Whatever gave you that idea? The so-called 7 sins are found in the Bible at proverbs 6:16-19.
Fear can be sinful if one allows fear of man to dictate ones actions instead of following closely what is taught in God's Word. (Matthew 10:28, Revelation 21:8)

I dont know of any part of the kjv bible that there is any mention of 7 sins...but, you have an excellant question.
Fear is something that is served...it is not something that happens. It actually becomes an idol if you pay attention to it..as, it will control you...and, we all are human and, we have to deal with fear everyday...so, perhaps idol worship would be the sin that fear would be under (i am guessing). and, trust me, i had a day that i had some real bad news, and, i really should be filled with fear, but, truly I am filled with peace that passes understanding...(and), I really cant understand it...
wow is God awesome or what?

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work

Catholicism deems 7 deadly sins.
Pride, Lust, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, and Envy.
Fear isn' t a deadly sin, or even a sin as far as I know!

Fear a sin? no

No.
"Fear (respect) of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom", paraphrased from Proverbs 3 (IIRC). That's a good thing, not a sin.
Fear of wild animals, criminals, etc. are natural responses.
Phobias?... well that's another 'story'
