I grew up going to church but I'm not religious now and I never really understood this part.
Please, no answers along the lines of "aha, that's why Christianity is a sham" or "religions aren't logical". I don't want to debate whether it's right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.

OK so he died for nothing if NO ONE sinned... so just sin a little because he purified the human race through his sacrifice so don't make his suffering worse... (It's hard to logic this way but if you truly thought your sins were purged by his crucifixion, you might make an economic argument out of it).
Jesus died to fix the issues caused by Adam and Eve’s sins of eating the fruit they weren’t supposed to, then throwing others under the bus to when called out for it. Even if we all behaved perfectly from then on, we’d still be mortals in fallen world.
