It's a metaphor that some people get carried away with and think is an actual entity.

I think such people reason emotionally rather than logically about this kind of subject, and believe in it because they find the alternative unacceptable.

It's part of the "humans are special" package. Where exactly on the evolutionary chain did the soul come in?
