Yes and no. Sin is particular to Christianity. Not all religions conceive of sin as the main problem, nor salvation as the way to solve it.
Good book on this is 'God is Not One' by Stephen Prothero.
For instance, you could say Buddhism's problem is suffering. But that's not something it imposes on you; that's something inherent to the human condition, more or less. It offers a solution to that, but you can't exactly compare apples to oranges.
Why is this downvoted? Even on an atheist site, there is still plenty of cultural bias and assumptions. Like, the debate on whether god or not exists, why does the inherent premise assume there is only one god? Why does the debate never mention gods? Oh I know, because the monotheistic Abrahamic religion came to dominate the world. And so, the narrative and viewpoint on the debate became monotheistic, which throws the polytheistic viewpoint under the rug and pretend it does not exists.
Yes, it's a common issue I've noticed in the west. When I was young, I sought out ex-Muslim spaces cause a lot of the general atheist chatter just didn't get it.
