The 7 deadly sins are one of the few religeos virtues I agree with. I like to take the word sin out and call them "7 human instincts that can be counterproductive to our well being".
Regardless of what you call them and how you view them (with divine faith or human logic), they are things that cause us problems. It just depends on the extent that we act on them that determines the severity of the reprocussions.
I guess what I'm saying is that they're impulses that we should try to controll for our own well being in our current state of existence. If you want to throw a higher being into it, more power to you.
