"This line of thought has led to some scientists claiming that atheism is psychologically impossible because of the way humans think, says Graham Lawton, an avowed atheist himself, writing in the New Scientist. They point to studies showing, for example, that even people who claim to be committed atheists tacitly hold religious beliefs, such as the existence of an immortal soul."
I am not attempting to address the question of whether belief in a spirit thingy is religious or not, I'm pointing out there exists at least one atheist that finds the idea of an immortal soul about as likely and supportable with evidence, as a prototypical human-invented 'god'.
To address your question, the idea of whether or not a supernatural god, and a supernatural soul exist, are along precisely the same unproven, evidence-bereft path that at least for now, leads nowhere.
