Holmans Bible Dictionary say this:
Sin as Rebellion One of the central affirmations throughout the Bible is humanity's estrangement from God. The cause for this estrangement is sin, the root cause of all the problems of humanity. The Bible, however, gives no formal definition for sin. It describes sin as an attitude that personifies sin as rebellion against God. Rebellion was at the root of the problem for Adam and Eve (Gen. 3) and has been at the root of humanity's plight ever since

If you will remember that word "estrangement" it makes it clearer IMO. It says to me that we separated ourselves from God. It was that way whether we are 9 or 90. Praise God, He tore the curtain down and put Himself back in our lives in a way we could not.

M--I too believe that Jesus died in atonement for the original sin of Adam and Eve but, my Bible says that He died for the sins of mankind. Plural. Perhaps better said, He died for us to have a way to remove sin by believing in Him as our Lord and Savior. TD
