Using the word 'sin' as a collective noun (instead of sins) is a remarkably Christian concept, and implies a state of sin, not merely those wrongs that a person might have committed. In particular, Catholicism emphasises the state of original sin, a concept that was never adopted by the Orthodox or Eastern Churches, and which is downplayed by the various Protestant denominations.
Judaism, for example, talks about sins and the expiation of sins. Traditionally, at Passover, the scapegoat was released to take away the sins of the faithful.
Islam's views on the concept of sin more or less follow the ideas of the Eastern Churches.
The Eastern faiths of Asia focus more on righteousness and knowledge than on sin or sins. Worship is emphasised rather than the forgiveness of sins.
