Yes, if you are a confused social conservative atheist ...anything is possible. The poll would not exist if the oxymoron did not exist in the first place: social conservative atheists. Well, they exist but so has the Dinosaurs. It's like thinking: Hey, some people have seen ghosts therefore a soul exist! without even knowing the source of the phenomenon to even conclude the previous.
Sorry, it takes a "leap of faith" to believe in a soul. The burden of proof is on the one who believes in a "soul".
I ask: where is the proof?
Plato does not even know where the "soul" goes even though he claimed to believe in one. Actually, the real question should have been (during his era) if there is a soul in the first place. Gorgas went into another extreme angle(philosophical Nihilism / rather believing in nothing) rather than moderating his stance. So, the previous provides us that even the ancient Greeks did not start at the reasonable starting point: Is there proof of a "soul"?
