It's a thoroughly well established observation. We see A and and B, the one does not seem to be able to be removed from the other. There is no need to invent extraneous entities (and some would argue, myself included, that if we wanted to be specific we could remove one of them - at least in the finer details).
Would you prefer to attempt to explain the unknown by reference to the unknown? Tell me, if you would, how that will work?
Atheism is not a stance on consciousness (or souls) so get off it. The only unavoidable -anything- of atheism is the absence of a belief in a god, either actively or passively. There is no "unwarranted prejudice of atheism" in this area, atheism has nothing to say on the matter.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
