We are generally conditioned to see people as more than just objects because that's what's been helping us as human beings to function in life with each other.And that's a 'soul', by some definitions. It's not some organ Jesus invented, it's just a word that theists use to describe what we are conditioned and some taught by religions to see people as.
But weren't you speaking of a soul that lasts forever? An actual entity rather than some concept? I don't have a problem with the casual use of the word "soul" to denote that we tend to be see others as more than just objects.
