If you do, then what exactly defines a soul in your view?

No, it's a logical conclusion. God isn't needed for the existence of the universe and thus doesn't exist. Sure, there's minuscule chance that's wrong and if it ever happens I'll be among the first who'll say I was wrong. Until then, science says God doesn't exist.

    You're right. Just a note

    there’s minuscule chance that’s wrong

    This is the scientific perspective. All signs point to no. But as always, we might have missed something. I think this is the agnostic perspective, even the "agnostic atheist" perspective. I think, and I might be wrong, that the pure "atheist" perspective is that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, there is no God.

    But if there's a tiny retarded chance that for some reason there is something as absurd as a god... lol.

    ...then that'd be me of course
