Martin Luther was an Augustinian monk prior to breaking with Rome. Luther could also be said to have "a lower key approach to sin", although he would have called it an accurate understanding of grace. His advice to Philip Melancthon, who was complaining of his own inability to follow the moral law, went something like peccator gustibus, "sin boldly", Christ's grace is sufficient for it all. I'm not aware of Luther ever breaking with Augustine, and I suspect it's inaccurate to contrast Augustine with Patrick. They were probably more similar than dissimilar in their theology.
