The soul is a lot like free will in that it has intuitive appeal and seems necessary as a building block upon which other necessary things are built.

The problems are twofold, defining it, and then figuring out how such a thing can be squared with a naturalistic account of the universe.

Does that mean it doesn't exist? I don't think it does mean that, but as always, the burden of proof remains on anyone who wants to claim it does exist. That burden hasn't yet been met.
