Michael, I gave you kudos because I know where you are coming from (I think?).
We athiests love empirical evidence. We also acknowledge and understand many concepts.
The concept of the soul is intrinsically connected to the heaven/hell concept.
Again, if it doesn't exist as matter/energy and cannot be measured or qualified, then it doesn't exist in our physical reality.
Sure it exists as a concept and in the minds of billions of believers.
It then becomes unfalsifiable like so many other religious stories and concepts, and also ghosts, ufo's, bigfoot, etc

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
