The primary difference between 'because' and 'since' may be simply put as follows: 'because' is strictly causal; that is, it denotes the cause of some effect that is stated or implied in the sentence in which it is used. 'Since' also denotes cause, yet it can also denote a 'time-factor' of some sort, such as in the phrase 'since yesterday.'

"Because" is used to indicate a cause-effect relationship, while "since" is used to indicate time or the starting point of an action. For example, "I am staying home because I am sick" (cause-effect) vs. "I haven't seen her since last month" (time).
