"Another 'get out of jail' card utilised by 'religions' - Hi-jacking existing natural phenomena for their own purposes.   Call it 'spirit', 'soul' or whatever, you can't get away from it that by being conceived any form of 'life', be it animal, plant or whatever, changes the future from that moment forward, the ripple effect, and when that 'life' ceases to be a 'life' any longer, the influence and impact it has had on everything else cannot be erased. The ripple effect will not and cannot reversed just because its initiator changes form.   I don't think the above is what 'believers' have in mind when they talk of 'spirit' and 'soul', but I wouldn't really know as I've never managed to get my head around just what it is they are talking about when they speak of 'spirit' and 'soul', so its up to a 'believer' to confirm or deny it.   However, it is the only thing I can comprehend and quantify that seems to fit within the general definitions of 'spirit' and 'soul'.
