Changes

Given the definition of a soul from the initial question on this page, I would say no.  Atheists do not believe in a God given soul.  However if we expand the definition to include any kind of spiritual/non-material component to the body then I think you will find more variance to the answer.  As for the above comments, I would have to say that I agree with LibAsCanBe, if God does exist and he is a loving and forgiving God as stated by the majority of the Christian faiths, being an atheist (or any religion) will not matter as long as you have lived a moral life. --[[User:ScottA|ScottA]] 20:44, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
