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

If we mean "consciousness that can exist separate from the body", then no.

Edit:

By soul I meant a part of consciousness that makes us more than mere collections of atoms, not necessarily an immortal entity capable of afterlife/reincarnation.

Oh. Yes, consciousness itself is some kind of strange emergent order that appears to be more than just the sum of all our atoms.
