we believe in karma
that what we give out we recieve
but also to forgive yourself and learn from your actions
not harming in the first place is a better way to go
there is no instant cleansing

Yes, the idea is that you need to seek forgiveness from bothe the person you have offended before you ask Allah for forgiveness. When you go on Hajj (Which is the hooly journey on which you are cleansed of your sins) you are required to go to those eho you feel you have harmed and seek their forgiveness as well as release all grudges you hold. If you do not sincerly recognise the person you have harmed and seek theri forgiveness you will still be punished.

The Bible teaches both. Matthew 5:23 says to make things right, and Jesus says that when we confess our sin, He is faithful and jus to forgive us, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

It is best to avoid causing harm. Where harm is caused, whether intentionally or not, the most important thing is to cease to cause harm and to not repeat the specific error. When it is possible to sincerely make amends and seek atonement, then that would also be quite good.

As an atheist, one doesn't harm people, so one doesn't owe restitution. Animal and human blood sacrifices, as required and promoted in the Bible, are not acceptable for atheists.

Forgiveness & understanding help.
I doubt anyone is cleansed.
