I don't think that anybody here is going to grant the possibility of theists being right about God and the soul. More to the point, if you leave an intuition unquestioned then you risk founding your life upon something that is factually wrong- how would you know without analyzing it? Further, if the "God intuition" you speak of cannot survive questioning, what value does it have?
As to your point "Atheists worry about being wrong more than Theists, hence perhaps lack confidence in being right" I would say the following:
1. Please provide the studies rather than just referring to them.
2. If this is true, perhaps it is rather the case that atheists are more fascinated by natural reality than theists, who may forfeit their reasoning in order that they may indulge more fully their particular brand of poetry, folklore and superstition. Even if your theory is correct and atheists are more insecure than theists, they are certainly closer to a true understanding of the universe because of their willingness to follow the trail of evidence rather than the fancies of their imagination.
I'm not quite sure what side or what point you are arguing, so I apologize if I've misread you. Please though, I would like to see these Youtube videos you mention.
