H--
The primary concern of Christians is that their souls be saved. Having a soul is not a religious idea.

These two statements seem contradictory to me. If you are using the term, "saving a soul" in the Christian sense as you say, the meaning is most definitely theological. IN what other sense would you be saving your soul?
According to AHD, the theological definition is then:

the spiritual nature of man considered in relation to God, regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state.

The first definition is more classical in origin, I think- like the Latin "Anima" or spirit, energizing force.

Which interestingly--- dovetails into the neo-X discussion.
However, it seems to me that you're changing definitions in midstream somehow.
