My biggest problem with philosophers, of this era, is that all too often they sound arrogant, spouting theories as if they are facts (instead of just seeing them as farts of the mind) - and using them to tear at the fabric of our society... what little there is left of it.
As for souls, ask and you will learn that there are millions of doctors and scientists who still believe in souls. Assuming they do not is just as arrogant as my claiming they all do.
