In my religion, he didn't because in my religion the sole person who can take on your sins is you, yourself and you alone. And God has the power to forgive your sins if you ask for forgiveness from the bottom of your heart without any sacrifice. There is no original sin nor does anyone bear the sins of their ancestors or descendants. Jesus was a prophet in my religion and a remarkable one but no where close to God. And the entire mythos of Jesus is long to explain here in my religion

"Sin" is a religious invention... And I am of the belief that if said religions aren't able to substantiate their various religious assertions with actual empirical evidence... Then we can discard all of said claims with zero evidence... And Sin can go away with it.

That is a very abstract and philosophical conversation, not a scientific one. You can't shoehorn science into everything. Because science can measure the physical, not the abstract. Is murder wrong because it's an evolutionary advantage and is in our genes or is there actually a soul and a set morality that is ingrained in us not biologically but metaphysically. Is morality the consequence of our time or is there an absolute morality that we are following or not. These are questions beyond science. Science has a lot of advantages but can't do everything. All intellectuals including atheists acknowledge that. Try asking people at the top of their scientific fields and they will tell you the same
