Anger is not a sin, except being angry enough to want to harm someone (Mt 5:21-22).
Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
We are made in God's image and he gets angry sometimes.
Potato chips were invented because of anger. A cook got tired of a customer complaining that his fried potatoes were too thick. So out of anger he sliced them up as thin as he could and served them, thinking he would tick the customer off. The were a hit and the rest is history.

In Judaism, anger in of itself is not a sin, however, what it can possibly result in, if left unchecked, is the issue.
Which is why in Jewish religious thought people are counciled to turn away from anger.
For example, Maimonides said that one should take the "middle path" (i.e. neither extreme) except in two cases, one being anger (i.e. one should bend to the opposite direction) the other being haughtiness.

There's such a thing as righteous anger.
Consider Christ's anger at the merchants who turned the temple into a "den of thieves." They had set up shop in the courtyards of the temple and they were fleecing -- excuse the expression -- those who had traveled far and at some expense to worship at the temple.

Jesus said that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice, the local court. According to tradition, these courts were set up in cities with an adult male population of 120 or more.
The judges at such a court had authority to render judgment, even on murder cases. Thus, Jesus was showing that a person who harbors smoldering wrath against his brother is committing a serious sin.
For good reason, the Bible warns against anger, abusive speech, and screaming. Eph. 4:31 Sadly, such conduct often escalates into violence. The world may view angry behavior as normal, but it dishonors our Creator.
How does God view someone who has a violent temper? The Bible warns: “Do not have companionship with anyone given to anger; and with a man having fits of rage you must not enter in.” Proverbs 22:24 Uncontrolled anger often leads to acts of violence.
