Otherwise, I'm going to have to ask that you stop painting with such broad brushes. Plenty of Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Anglicans would disagree with that statement.
Most Episcopalians would disagree with that statement. It's really only true about a small segment of Protestantism.

Original Sin (or what Orthodox consider Ancestral Sin) is ever present and via its very nature separate us from God. It is only through the grace of Jesus Christ that we can re-establish a communion with god.
Roman Catholics very much believe in Original Sin.
