The problem of the soul

[vulcanlogician]

I think what’s tripping him up is that he made the silly contention that ‘souls are electricity’,

Funny thing is: that's a rejection of dualism. It is materialism (ie. the rejection of a nonphysical soul). Electricity is a physical phenomenon, after all.

A neuroscientist will contend that the deepest level of consciousness could be defined as electrical activity. At the very least, there is a causal relation between electrical activity in the brain and consciousness. If that's what Winter is saying, then he agrees with most atheists.
