Hard-headed atheistic realists: do you allow yourself to think of a "soul"?

Asked by Jeruba (55840points) March 24th, 2010

I am an atheist and a skeptic all the way, with no room in my life for fictions and fantasies about angels and demons, fairies, gods, heavens and hells, afterlives, or fates and destinies and things that are “meant to be.” Yet in spite of everything I find the concept of a “soul” meaningful, and not just because it makes good poetry.

How about you? Do you scoff, or do you need this word to express something that is not adequately covered by neurons and chemistry?
