I have no problem in agreeing with this. It would be like you saying "you have arms, you have legs, etc, these are the body". If the soul is just going to be used as a collective term for things we know exist in a naturalistic fashion, with no supernatural origin or upkeep, I'd be more than happy to call my consciousness and personality my "soul", as the label in this sense has no hidden meaning. Unless you wish to go one step further and say that these things will transcend the physical universe after I die... I'm sure EvF will tell you what you need to provide to back up such an assertion.
