To me its wasting a life on the after life and not living in the moment, not seeing the light in everyone and disconnecting from this world around us. To read scriptures and still seek wealth, and to give to charity in an attempt to buy your place in heaven but to never offer a helping hand to those that need it most!!
UUUmmm maybe its to be a religous leader, or preacher that collects for the poor yet lives in vast wealth themselves for they preach for other to give but sacrafice very little themselves!

The people you are talking about ..... I call them hypocrites. They are missing the main reason why religions exist

GREAT QUESTION! EXCELLENT ACUMEN!
First, let me give you my regards and greetings in Christ.
On earth, things will never be perfect.
The greatest sin, according to the Bible is "Unbelief.", which directly leads to eternal punishment.
One way I want to mention, when we criticize others, let's examine if we're exactly the same, can we really do better when put in their positions?
Seek the advancement of God's Kingdom is and should be our goal. While picking on others can be meaningful from time to time, even joyful, but the goal is still for advancement, not for finding gaps for fractures.
We can choose to live in anger, or we can use the energy to seek practical opportunities to live in the Word right, if others fail to be the salt and light Christ called them to be, let us make sure we do not fail that call.

To be able to life fully in the moment, you'd need to shred religion and superstition. Try think about what it takes to live in the moment and you'll find it harder(not impossible) than you think.

in my opinion the greatest sin is to waste your precious life thinking that there is a god that decides everything for you and thinking he will save you when u lost the chance of learning how to do it. IN MY OPINION, religion is make-believe, stories invented to entertain the people and take advantage of the innocence of others.

I believe that the greatest sin would be committing suicide, because all other sins can be forgiven. You can't ask forgiveness for something you are about to do.

Well Beaty to be frank with you there is no such thing as the greatest sin...I would rather call that greatest regret!
For me it would be denying God and not following his teachings.
That is " To Love your God with all your mind, with all your soul...and to love your neighbor like you love yourself..."
God Bless!
