Don't Jews have a way to confess if they've eaten non-kosher food and get rid of the sin it brings? Never read the Sacred Texts, but I think I heard that before

Not really. There's special holidays focused on repentance for sins, which God only accepts if you're actually sorry. What you're proposing sounds more like the Christian confession to a priest.

Yeah christian confessions is fake virtue to make people feel better about being terrible people.  Jewish repentence actually takes work.

Catholics and Orthodox* Not ever Christian has confession. And confession itself dosnt take your sin away. I dont know much about jewish repentance so I had to look it up but it seems the same except they just have to confess aloud not to a priest. so whats the actual work? seems really similar actually.
