LOL "The animating and vital principle in the human being, credited (credit is a synonym for BELIEF)with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived imagined as an immaterial entity." Having a soul IS a religious idea since this immaterial "essence" requires belief. It doesn't have to be a Christian idea- but it certainly seems religious (relating or manifesting faith or devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity). >If one thinks, acts, and feels emotions, he has a soul. ~H~< Only if one CREDITS the soul as producing thinking, acting and feeling. It certainly doesn't PROVE anything that some people "credit" that.

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.
